This recipe deserves 5 stars with the small changes added (I didn't try the original recipe). I took other members' advice and added 1tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. I also used 1 egg and 2 egg whites (instead of 2 whole eggs), and I used 1/8 cup lite margarine and 1/8 cup applesauce, and I used 1/8 cup water and 1/8 cup 1%milk. I did not have a bread pan, so I used a muffin pan instead and they only needed to cook for about 16-18 minutes. I did not have enough bananas to make a full cup, but it was almost a cup, and if I had to do this recipe over, I also add more banana. It tasted great, and didn't seem like it was lowfat. (It was a little bit spongey, but not too much) My husband and daughter loved them too. It made a great breakfast!

I won't rate this recipe since I messed around with it so much that it wouldn't be fair. I accidentally added way too much banana (about double the amount or slightly more)...I was making a whole bunch of different banana recipes tonight and I lost my concentration. Anyway, to compensate for the extra moisture and to increase the health benefits, I added 1/2 a cup of wheat bran on top of the all purpose flour. I also omitted the water. I also decided to use 1/3 white & 1/3 brown sugar, and I used butter instead of shortening since it was all I had on hand. In the end, I think the bread would've been good even with all these changes, except that it cooked in about 35 or 40 minutes...but I didn't check it til 50 minutes. It still tastes ok on the inside, and is definitely nice & moist, but the crust is tough, burnt-tasting, and yucky. I'll have to make this again properly and watch the time closely. Still, all things considered, it's not too bad at all...it will still get eaten up in no time, I'm sure!

This is a great recipe! I used half splenda and half brown sugar, but it turned out so good, that I think I will use all splenda next time. I added 3 bananas as others have recommended and also added cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Very easy to prepare! Thanks!

Not as moist as I would have liked, but as it was lower in fat than many of the other banana bread recipes so that was understandable.

This recipe was excellent. I do not have a log tin so I put the mix in muffin tins. I also used wholemeal self raising flour and omitted the baking powder. They were delicious and ready in a flash!

I love this recipe!!! The bread is so moist and yummy! I altered it some though. I reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup, used applesauce in place of margarine, used 4 egg whites instead of whole eggs, used 1 1/3 cup wheat flour & 1/3 cup white flour, and added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I also added more bananas for flavor. The bread was done baking in 35 to 40 min.

i gave it only a four star because i did not knw is it because i overmix the batter but my bread turn out quite rubbery instead of moist. Also, i used a loaf tin and the bread crack in the middle. does anyone know why it turns out this way? But overall, the taste was good but i will use more bananas next time for s stronger flavour. I also substituted half of the butter with apple sauce.

Wonderful - very mild! Added three bananas as recommended by another reviewer to give the bread more banana flavor. I used Splenda instead of sugar and the top of the loaf started to brown about 40 minutes into cooking. At that time, I covered the top loosely with foil and finished cooking. Gave five stars even though my preference is towards the sweeter breads. Thanks Lauren!!

The flavor is good, but be careful with the time! I checked mine at 45 minutes and it was just starting to burn... it turned out okay, but next time I make this, I will shorten the baking time. I took the advice of other reviewers and did 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar. Probably adding the brown sugar helped to shorten the baking time.

The banana bread is moist and delicious. I did take the others' advices and substitute applesauce for butter and splenda for white sugar. I also added 1/4C of chocoloate chips, 1/4C of chopped walnuts, spinkle of allspice and cinnamon and 1 tsp vanilla. Next time I will probably add an extra banana for stronger banana flavor. Just one question, is the bread supposed to raise to 3 inches? cos' mine didn't raise much, only about 1.5 inch thick and the texture of the top and bottom of the bread is more dense than that in the middle. I will definitly make this banana bread again, as it is so healthy and yummy. Thanks for this lovely recipe!

Excellent, moist banana bread! It's so good that I like it just as well as my grandma's recipe, which has twice as much butter and sugar. I added 1 tsp. vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, and replaced the water with skim milk as was suggested by other reviewers. My 2-year-old sprinkled a few chocolate chips on top and it's perfect! I only had to bake it for 45 minutes so be sure to check early.

it is hard to judge whether it is done. mine turned out having a hard crust after baking for 50 mins. 40 min could probably have been sufficient. nonetheless, it's still very tasty. i added choc chips, replaced margarine with 1/4 cup and 1 tbs apple sauce, mixed white sugar with brown. taste good!

This banana bread was outstandingly delicious. Even my mom liked it and she's a tough critic to please. I did some modifications to this recipe with some of the suggestions that were posted. I cut back on the butter to 2tbsp and added 2 heaping tbsp of applesauce and folded in some chocolate chips. Instead of adding water, I substituted that with skim milk. Also, I cut back on the white sugar since I was adding chocolate chips. After the loaf was done and cooled slightly, I decided to melt some white chocolate to glazed the top of the loaf with it.
