Reduced-Calorie Banana Bread

By á-2557

This banana bread is good & moist, lower in calories and fat. The recipe comes from Ladies Home Journal with rave reviews. Good with nutmeg, added with the cinnamon. I made this using Splenda for Baking,1/3 cup, was plenty sweet.
Can substitute 1/4 cup of applesauce for the oil.
