A wonderful lower-fat cake/muffin recipe that's easy to make as everything is mixed by hand --- this recipe was tested and developed using low-fat yogurt although I would think that low-fat sour cream may be substituted with good results.

yum! super moist snack!! i used only 1/3 c. of loosely packed brown sugar and then added a thick sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and some quick oats on top. i didn't have fat-free yogurt, so i used 1 c. buttermilk. i didn't measure the banana, but i only had one and that's what i used. turned out great. next time i make it, i will use natural applesauce in place of the oil. thanks for a healthy and delish recipe!

    Awesome! I didn't have quite enough banana, so I put in a little milk. I used half Greek yogurt with honey and half Greek vanilla flavored yogurt, and cut the sugar down to less than 1/2 cup. It was a huge hit with no extra adornment. Thanks for a simple, delicious solution to what to do with that one overly-brown banana!

    This makes a nice quick cake and is perfect for a small family. I didn't think you banana was ripe enough to give a really good flavor so instead of the vanilla, I used banana flavoring. For the sugar, I used 1/2 Splenda and 1/2 white sugar. The cake was moist and delicious. I topped it off with Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting by CoolMonday.

    I was in the mood for something light for a snack and this was just the right choice. Quick to mix up and only requiring 2 tablespoons oil, the only change I made was using buttermilk for the yogurt.It bakes up quicker than a traditional banana bread which allowed it to make a quick dessert. The cake baked up very light but with a good denseness that cut neatly. I served it plain and it went great with a cup of tea. Thanks Kittencal! Roxygirl
