    Going by the recipe calculator at SparkRecipes, if you had 12 servings in one loaf, you would end up with, per slice....

    BUT!!! If you switch to whole wheat flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup applesauce instead of oil, you drop calories PLUS add fibre

    I have been searching for a healthier option for banana bread. I am going to try this. I need to feel that I can still satisfy that sweet craving that I struggle with. Thanks for the recipe.
