Used the 3/4 cup of splenda and it almost glued my teeth together, I also subsituted the oil with the apple sauce. I should have taken Barb's advise and just use 1/4 cup of splenda. Will try the next time. I liked the texture of it, didnt have no cinnamon and will certainly try that next time too.

very good! substituted oil for strong, brewed coffee, used whole wheat flour, and reduced sugar to 1/3 cup - turned out great! added a chocolate-coffee glaze on top for a little extra sweetness!

I LOVE banana bread, but it's not very Weight Watchers friendly, which the diet of choice for my husband and I. This recipe was a great base, but I used whole wheat flour, used only 2 Tbls. of oil and instead upped the banana to 1 1/2 cups, I used Splenda (the full 3/4 cup) and I also added 2 tsp of vanilla. I knocked this recipe down to 100 cal. per serving, upped the fiber and for those familiar with WW made it a two point snack! It tasted great!!!

I made this recipe into muffins today and they are GREAT!! I am trying to eat low Cal and these are great for that. I used whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of oil, Splenda (a little more than 1/3 cup), and added some nutmeg and vanilla. They came out nice and moist. My Kids loved them too! They figured out to be about 85 Calories per muffin!! Great for breakfast or a snack!! Thanks for the great Recipe!!
