My new favorite!

This is a great recipe and now my new favorite! I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose.

banna bread

This banna bread went over big with my family. I did however add chopped walnuts to this recipe. I also used 2 cups of Gold Medal whole wheat flower instead of the all-purpose flower. I advise everyone to try it out. I am taking this recipe to my Tops group to share with them.

Banana Bread Nutrition Info

Compared to my old banana bread recipe this is much healthier. This is a treat to be eaten occasionally, with much less guilt. I don't expect it to be the equivilent of a bowl of cereal but glad the fat and calories are lower. Thanks for a better alternative so I can include better for me snacks in my diet.

"nummy" as my kids would say

My husband and kids LOVE bananas so I thought I would try this recipe since I had most of the ingredients already. Wow it was yummy! I love how moist it was! I have already made it twice in one week! I'm am in the processes of making the banana and raisin muffins so I will comment on that as well. Oh and my husband and kids loved it as well!

no vitamins/minerals?

I was going to try this, but minimal vitamins & minerals makes it seem like empty calories. It seems like such a good recipe, I hope it's just that they are not listed.

Great recipe. Does anyone know where the vitamins went. The Nutritional Information listed has far less vitamins than if you had just ate a bowl of Total by its self. Does baking reduce vitamins or is this a typo. All recipes using Total seem to have reduced vitamins. Why is this? Will this happen when cooking with other products like Pediassure?
