If you really love your mom's recipie, try substituting some plain applesauce for some of the oil. You can usually do at least half and sometimes all of it without noticing any difference. This alone will really help with the calories. Also if it takes a lot of eggs, try cutting one out - usually doesn't make a difference either.

I'm with mommyskis - and I think you're safe cutting out all oil and replacing it with applesauce (unsweetened). I follow the Betty Crocker recipe for banana bread and do that as well as: cutting the sugar in half (the applesauce adds sweetness) and substituting whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour. I also double the cinnamon and add about a tablespoon of almond extract for extra (calorie free) flavor. Shredded coconut (all natural/no sugar added) is also a yummy addition. It's easier for me to make in muffin tins instead of a bread pan - that helps me to control my portions after it's done. It also cuts the cooking time in about half. It's healthy enough that I'll have a muffin or two for breakfast - they're great to grab and go - and my 4 yr. old loves them too
