this was terrific! I mixed up all the dry ing first and then added the wet. I used one thing of applesauce and Ener-G egg replacer instead of the egg. Also added nuts & cinnamon. So easy and really tasty. Like another reviewer, I put it all in one loaf pan and baked it for 60 min.

This was only my second time making banana bread, and I have to say that I was not overly impressed with this. I stayed fairly close to the recipe, only using 50/50 on the flour (wheat/white) and sugar (brown/white), but reduced the sugar just a little after reading the reviews. I also added some cinnamon and nutmeg, then added sliced almonds to one loaf and chocolate chips to the other. The bread is very dense and IF I ever make this again, it will definitely all go into one loaf pan or just into muffins, because it did not raise as much as I expected.Thanks for helping me to use up bananas that would have otherwise gone to waste, but I am going to keep looking for a go-to banana bread recipe.

These are delightful! I used all unsweetened applesauce, no butter. I did use the full cup of sugar, and will probably decrease that to 3/4 cup, because it was very sweet. I made 12 very good-sized muffins out of this recipe. They baked about 15 minutes. According to ww recipe builder, with the substitutions noted, each muffin is 3 points. Very good, and I will definitely make them again! Amended: These loaves freeze well. No difference in taste or texture. Also, when doubling, I got four very skimpy loaves, so next time will only make three. I liked the richer taste of half white, half brown sugar. Still a bit to sweet, I will reduce the sugar further next time. This is THE banana bread recipe for me!

Great recipe! I snuck in a few extra healthy options and the kids love it. I used 1c flour and 1/2c rolled oats (next time I think I will go 3/4c of each). I added 3T of Wheat Germ. 3/4c sugar rather than 1c. And all applesauce = 4T (no butter). I also added 1/2c dried fruit (1/4c cranberries and 1/4c raisins). The kids have no idea that it is a healthy snack.
