This was fantastic, everyone loved it! Really easy to make, although I stopped putting the cinnamon sugar in the pan after the sugar on the edge made it burn a little. (I made 4 loaves!). Will definitely make again!

Used egg substitute, 3 bananas, quick cooking oats for the all-purpose flour and left out the nuts and chips. This was great! The flavor was wonderful and really worth the calories, which with the adjustments weren't really that much. I will be making this one again, thanks so much!
