Meryl, this recipe is absolutely wonderful!! I have been trying to cook "lowfat" and "lowcarb" to improve our diet and this recipe worked great. I used sugar free whole wheat bread which we just discovered. We left off the powdered sugar topping and used sugar free syrup. These two things helped us lower the carbs a little more. The rich tasting banana filling is "to die for"!! My only regret was not having any fresh strawberries to top it, but next time I will. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
