"Without a doubt the best low fat banana bread I have ever made. I changed two things - I add 2 full cups of mashed banana and 1/2 cup sour cream. The result is an incredibly moist, delicious choc./banana treat. Every where I take this I am handing the recipe out!"

-AZPARZYCH
"So yummy! I made some changes to make them a little healthier and they turned out delicious! I also made them muffins; 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. They are amazing, I tried to share one with my 12 month old and he insisted on eating the entire thing!"

"This is the best banana bread. The streusel topping is a nice contrast to the moist bread. I have made this recipe several times now and we really enjoy this bread made as muffins. Makes 2 dozen muffins; bake 25 minutes."
-swissms

"Very moist and flavorful, and rose up nicely. Perfect blend of spices. I had a slice with a scoop of vanilla non-fat, no sugar added ice cream for dessert. Yummy."
-Outta Here
"This is the best banana bread ever! By mistake I used 1/2 cup butter and oh my it was good! I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup as the butterscotch chips are very sweet. It was divine!"
-Luv2cook
"Really tasty and easy to make. I also used some cinnamon and added a walnut streusel topping for crunch."
-stephsyourchef
"Very good recipe, makes a nice wholesome looking bread. I mashed 3 bananas which was a little over a cup but I put it all in anyway and it was fine. This makes a nice change from plain banana bread and I'll make it again."
-dale7793
