This has a very "chewy" texture, which I like. I also had to bake about 10 minutes longer, and it just barely all fit in my loaf pan, which is a little larger than normal. I may make two smaller loaves next time. I didn't have vanilla yogurt, so used banana-strawberry flavor, which added a little extra flavor. I use half brown sugar and half Splenda for the sugar. Very good for being almost fat free!

If your looking for a banana bread that is as light as a feather this isn't the one your looking for. On the other hand if you want a moist, very tasty bread that thinks about your well being then stop here and make this recipe. In the interest of being a good little diabetic I used 1 cup of unbleached flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour, Splenda for the sugar and 1/4 cup of egg white. I got a single 9x5 loaf that took about 10 mins longer to bake than the recipe says. The old fashioned oats that I used might be a strong reason for the mild chewie factor that I quite like but you might want to us quick oats if thats not your thing. All in All this is a lovely, not too sweet (yay) loaf thats easy to enjoy. I'm planing to toast a slice in the morning and spread it with peanut butter :D. Made for Photo Tag.

A terrible mistake here on my part and I still had good results. I was immediately drawn to this recipe because of the low amount of sugar and good quantity of oats. For my batch I also used half white - half whole wheat flower. This makes a lot of batter and if your loaf pan is smallish you may want to make a muffin or two to avoid spillage. Fortunately I just bought a new extra large loaf pan and this was a great initiation. Tested my bread at 35 minutes and it still need about 5 minutes more baking. Alas I got distracted and let 20 minutes pass. Despite this gaffe, the bread was still wonderfully moist and tasted pretty good. Betting with a proper cooking time it would have been just amazing and look forward to testing that next week.

<p>First, I'd like thank everyone who reviews my recipes. I can't thank each of you personally although I try. <br /><br />I Live in central Virginia, 5 miles from where I grew up, w/ my Husband of 17 years and my beautiful daughter. She is 10 and is the joy of my life. We waited for a long time to be blessed with a child and it is the best thing I've ever done. Be a mother. <br /><br />I love to cook. We eat very healthy, after a life altering experience at 31 I've been on a journey to be healthy and lose weight. I've lost 50 lbs and have kept most all of it off for the last 9 years. There are always fluxs, durring stressful times, but I've mananged to keep most of the weight off. My best advice to anyone trying to lose weight is to remember that it didn't get there overnight and it won't come off overnight. I've never said I was on a diet. It is a lifestyle.</p>
<p>When Zaar first changed to Food I took a short hiatus. I was going thru a very hard time in life and was completely unmotivated to do anything and thus gave up my hosting duties on Holiday Tag. But now with a new perspective I'm hoping to get back to cooking and tagging.</p>
