Honey Banana Bread

Love2Eat's Note:

I got this recipe from a friend, who got it at a Weight Watchers meeting. It's so delicious you won't believe you're eating low fat! It doubles perfectly (I never make just one loaf!) and if you don't have enough banana, just use applesauce for the balance. It works like a charm. Enjoy!!! 2 points per 1/16 of a loaf.

Thanks for sharing this one. This bread was very dense and quite flavorful. It is wonderful toasted! A nice healthy treat!

FANTASTIC!!!! My family loves recipes with wheat flour and little sugar. This will be made quite often in my home and be brought to church gatherings.

Dense, moist, delicious. Very much relished the fact that it's almost fat free, but yet was very sweet - family, who like sweet things, loved it. I might even try omitting the sugar next time. One thing - it did sit a little low in the pan, perhaps I moistened the baking soda/powder too soon? Thanks for a great recipe!
