  1. I loved this recipe. All ingredients I usually have on hand. I used about a half cup of Splenda and my son had no idea he was eating low fat. I added walnuts because banana bread just isn't the same without them. I will make this again for sure.
     
  2. Good taste, taking into account it's low fat and low sugar. Nice flavor and texture, though a little rubbery around the edges (again, expected for low fat). I doubled the recipe expecting two loaves, but it was only enough for 1 large loaf. Very good recipe overall.
     
  3. I am giving this five stars for making a comfort food healthy and very nearly fat free. I love banana bread and this is not good for a low fat bread but out and out good even without taking the fat or sugar content into consideration. It would be any easy base to be creative with if somebody wished to add ground walnuts or the like. The only thing I will say is that it was done in my oven in 40 minutes rather than 50 so keep a close eye on the oven. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2007 in the community forums.
