Excellent alternative to the fat-laden nut bread I used to make. It freezes well, keeps in the fridge for weeks and is delicious warmed up! I made some personal adjustments by cutting the original recipe in half and omitting the raisins. I added 1/2 cup pecans (walnuts are really fatty) and 1/4 cup flaxseed (great crunch). Subbed 1/2 wheat and 1/2 white for the flour. Cook for 37 mins. will definitely make this again!

Great recipe. I made it 15 servings and got 20 muffins from it. Only thing I did different was add chocolate chips. I bake them in the middle of the oven at 350 for about 17 minutes.

I made a few revisions but this is a great recipe! First, I only made 1/2 the original size so that I just made one pan of the bread. I used 1/2 white & 1/2 whole wheat flour, added 3 tbsp applesauce in lieu of margarine/oil, added 1 tbsp ground flax seed, used twice as many walnuts, added an extra splash of vanilla, and didn't use any raisins. For those interested, I timed the cooking and it took one loaf 37-40 minutes with no burnt top and a moist inside. NOTE: The whole wheat flour makes it a more dense bread and the lack of oil/margarine affects the consistency but neither change the good taste!

Very good and low in fat! It would be nice to have a time frame. The crust did get dark before it was done but its not hard, still soft. Very moist and tasty!

January 2007. Made this for my daughter's 16th birthday party; one gal said she doesn't eat bread but ate 5 slices of this! I substituted 1 cup of mini chocolate chips for the raisins/ nuts. Definitely a winner!!

I have used this recipe many times now and people cannot get enough of it! They can't believe that it is so moist and lower fat!

I'm new to "breads" and some sort of timeframe for the baking would have been helpful. I also found that the exterior burned while the interior was still "pudding". Should have read the review for covering with foil! Taste and texture are better than average reduced fat materials and I have tried a few (even from WW, blech!). All in all, a nice use of the bananas that were going too ripe on the kitchen table.

To further reduce calories, I used 1/2 c Egg Beaters for the egg whites, 8 bananas, 1 c Splenda instead of the brown sugar, 2 T applesauce instead of the margarine, 2 T vanilla and 2 c each whole wheat and white flour. I baked at 350 due to lack of fat in recipe. I thought it came out pretty decent. I would make it again. I covered the tops of the bread with foil during cooking so they wouldn't over brown.

A low-fat option for banana bread lovers. The only thing missing is the banana bread flavor. Seriously, it's edible, but it's not worth the trouble.

The bread was a little dry, so I added some applesauce and light whipping cream on the side. It was very good.
