My friend at work has a recipe for some sort of banana bread that you make in a crockpot. It calls for a stick of butter and a cup of sugar. She isn't super healthy, but she tries to cut down where possible. Any suggestions on substituition or how to cut down the butter and sugar? I know I've heard of using applesauce in place of oil/butter, but does that also replace some of the sugar? Any suggestions would be fantastic! Thanks!!

    Honestly speaking... I wouldnt be bothered by the butter so much... but the sugar I would.

    You can do equal-parts replacement by using unsweetened applesauce.

    Choose a whole-wheat flour that has not been bleached or processed with chemicals.
