I use this recipe every time I have overripe bananas! It is incredibly moist, given that there is no oil or butter in the recipe!

This was just perfect! So moist and yummy. I made as directed, but added some cinnamon for our liking. This is one that will go in my pile of recipes to keep :)

Great recipe! Fast and easy. I cut down the sugar by half ... and it still works beautifully. Thanks Michelle HB! I will continue to tinker for extra roughage...

Fast and easy recipe. I followed instructions exactly - but added some raisins and pine nuts. Delicious - and you don't miss the fat.

For lowfat banana bread, this is very good. Surprisingly moist and delicious- you can even add some dark chocolate chips since there is no butter or oil in this, and not feel guilty about it! Thanks for an easy and yummy recipe.
