Love this recipe. I did make a few changes such as: 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 cup chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup of lowfat plain yogurt instead of applesauce, 1/2 tsp salt & 1 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. It may be a bit too sweet for me but I think recipe was amazing for my first banana bread.

I've been looking for a good low fat banana bread recipe, thanks! Per another review I added 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp of vanilla and almond extracts and 1/4 tsp salt. I used one whole egg as that was what I had and would have used 3 bananas instead of two if I'd had another that was a little overly ripe. My loaf pan is 9x5 so I changed the baking time to 35 min. Also, if I'd had some chopped nuts on hand, I would add those (1/4 cup). All turned out great!

This is a good base recipe for low fat banana bread, but I found there was a lack of flavor the first time I made this. The second time I decided to give it a bit of a Caribbean kick-I used 1/2c brown sugar, did 3/4c whole wheat flour & all purpose flour, added 1/4 tsp allspice, and subbed in a splash of Appleton rum. I also used some dark brown bananas to give it an added sweetness. My husband raved about it so much he's already requested I only ever use this recipe in the future!

After reading some of the reviews I also made some suggestions, such as adding an extra banana, cutting the sugar to 1/2 cup, using one whole egg, adding an 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 cup nutmeg (next time I'll cut to 1/4 or even 1/8!!) and 2 tsp vanilla. It turned out moist and was actually not too bad. Not my favorite recipe I've tried but a much healthier recipe.

My 4 year old son has eaten every bite of it for the last 2 mornings for his breakfast. It's amazing! I used 1/4c of brown sugar and 1/2c white, very tasty.

Awesome bread! I made changes as others suggested, also added my own to jazz it up. Added the 1/2cup sugar, 1 egg, 1tsp vanilla, 3/4tsp cinn., 1/4 tsp all spice, 1/4 cup walnuts, 1/8 tsp salt. I added 1 T oil to make sure it want rubber as my last experience with a different recipe. I fattened this up by topping with chopped walnuts and choc chips. It was definitely worth the extra calories. Can't get enough.

Second time I made this recipe, liked it the first time and loved it the second. I did use some of the suggestions offered by other reviews, I used 1/3 cup oatmeal, 3 very ripe bananas moderately mashed, I like a little texture, 1/2 cup or scant more whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. I decreased the sugar to 1/2 cup and I used sugar in the raw and I also added 1/2 cup of raisins, but next time I will add 2/3 cup, I also soaked the raisins in hot water before mixing into the batter and I used 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. The bread is a tad rubbery but extremely flavorful.
