We made these into mini muffins rather than a loaf. They were okay but nothing we'd make again. My 2 boys enjoyed eating them but I found them to be a bit too dry and not especially tasty.

This was pretty good, especially for a lowfat baked good. However, I thought it a bit bland, and that's even in comparison with other fatfree breads (I'm a connisseur, lol). However, I would make it again. Next time, I might try adding chocolate chips or more bananas for enhanced flavor. Thanks so much!
