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.

Outstanding! I made a few changes based on what I had on hand* but I don't think they affected the outcome. I've made a lot of banana bread and this was as good (or better) than any I made before! (*doubled the recipe but used 3 cups AP flour + 1 1/2 cups wheat bran. Used 2 1/2 cups mashed banana & added ground walnuts. Also I had leftover egg whites so I just added 2 whole eggs to make 1 cup.) BTW she doesn't specify the bread pan size but I used 2 9x5" and it filled them right up despite the fact that I used less overall flour.

I love this recipe. I read the reviews and decided to use double the applesauce. I did not have any nonfat milk so simply substituted water. I also used all whole wheat flour instead of one cup of all purpose flour. I baked the recipe as muffins at 350 degrees for 15 minutes The recipe made 16 nice size muffins . I will be sure to pass this recipe along to my family and friends that are interested in healthy living. This will be a weekly addition to my baking. Thank you for the great recipe.

This makes a delicious, guilt-free banana bread. I have made this recipe twice, and the second time I used 1 cup oat bran instead of the 1 cup white flour; this made the bread 100% whole grain and didn't diminish from the flavor one bit. I also made the bread in the form of muffins. Thanks for this wonderful recipe; I am sure I will make it many times!
