I like this recipe because it's high in fiber and low in sugar. However, I may add a little more stevia to it next time because my son complained it wasn't sweet enough. It's great spread with a little cream cheese, too. I used whole wheat flour and Smart Balance margarine instead of butter, and I doubled the recipe, because I had 5 frozen bananas that I had thawed. That is a tip I'm sharing with all of you, because that's a great way to use bananas that have sat around and become too ripe. Just stick them in the freezer, and thaw them out for banana bread. They're slimey but work great in any recipe.

This is really good. I used 2-3/4 cups of light spelt flour instead of wheat flour and made it as muffins and they turned out well. The pecans and cinnamon give it a kind of streusel flavour.
