    If you really want a more healthier banana bread, drop the "unbleached all purpose flour" and use "whole wheat flour or whole wheat white flour".

    I use this recipe and it is amazing!!! I do make a few substitutions though . . . I use half all purpose flour half whole wheat flour, I sub half of the oil for applesauce, and I sub the sour cream for plain non fat Greek yogurt. I also make it into muffins because if I don't, I would cut the loaf in half and try to pass it off as one slice :blushing:
