Fat-Free, Sugar-Free & Cholesterol-Free Banana Bread!

Jen O.'s Note:

This banana bread is VERY good and VERY healthy! It does tend to come out a bit dense for my own personal taste, but considering all the substitutions I've made to the conventional recipes, it's fantastic! Enjoy!

4 stars for the original recipe, but 5 stars with reviewers' suggestions. I used about 3/4 cup Splenda; doubled the natural applesauce and added 2 shakes of cinnamon. I upped my convection oven to 325* and baked the dough in a glass pan for 45 minutes. The end result was a large, moist, yummy bread that we will enjoy many times.

I like it. I did make a few changes. I used a fresh apple grated, and used 4 bananas, I also added 1 extra teaspoon of baking powder. I did large muffins and they were a little dry I think next time I will do more grated apples and one more egg white. Overall we love it.

This was really nice alternative to other banana breads. I really enjoyed it though my DH was a bit disappointed (but he's not the one watching his calories lol). I was really happy with the consistancy. I made a few changes because of the ingredients I had in the house. I used all whole wheat flour. And I only had regular (sweetend) applesauce. So I decreased the splenda to 3/4 of a cup. And I added 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla butter nut extract. Thanks for sharing!
