Soooo Delicious! I made this banana bread last night and it was so good. However, I did tweak it a bit because of my diet. I used 1 cup of cake flour (didn't have all purpose)2/3 wheat flour, 1/4 cup of smart balance for margarine, 2/3 cup brown sugar, rice milk instead of water. I also used vanilla flavoring. It was very moist and a very nice texture. I will make this again and again......It's a keeper. Thanks!

Wow! All the taste without all the fat! I've made a number of full fat banana breads from this site and this low fat version is very, very good. I used 1/3 c. brown sugar, 1/3 c. white sugar, 3 mashed bananas, skim milk instead of water, Sunsweet Lighter Bake instead of the margarine, and added 1 tsp. of vanilla, 1 tsp. of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp. of almond extract. It had a great texture and baked up very nice in 50 minutes. Also, Pam for baking is a life saver when baking breads!!!

of all the recipes i have found on this site, this has become one of the family favorites. i made a few minor changes....all similar to those already posted. i used applesauce rather than margarine, milk rather than water....and i dumped a whole slew of cinnamon in because that is just how we like it. i have given this recipe to many friends....all love it!

It was eatable but a little bit heavy and not fluffy. I followed the recipe and did not change anything.(not a keeper) Last week I made another recipe and rated it yesterday (the best banana bread), This one is really the best like the recipe says it.

I tried it with the variations of half brown half white sugar, 1 cup white flour 2/3 cup wheat flour and added vanilla and cinnamon. Great - cooked a little too long - only took about 45-50 minutes in my oven.

I am giving this 4 stars because of the modifications that i make. If not for that, it is a 5. No white sugar, I use brown. Also, go for the butter and not marg! Add 1 tsp vanilla. I use 1 c whole wheat flour and 2/3 c finely ground oats. Sometimes I add 1 c choc chips and other times not. Thanks
