Thank you, thank you, thank you! :hug: I'm in love with Banana bread.

Does this taste pretty close to real...non-diet friendly banana bread? I've been looking for a substitute recipe but haven't really had much luck with the taste part.

Right now I'm making some whole wheat apple cinnamon oat muffins. I hope they turn out!!!

the muffins taste like ickiness. lol

I wish I could give better advice, but I haven't started baking yet,t oo much on my plate already. But I know there are different whole wheat flours - white whole wheat, whole wheat pastry flour. Plus other flours like spelt and barley that I've seen in whole grain recipes. Might make the difference. Someday I will bake again! (Not that I ever made anything but cookies before). But it will be a whole new ballgame with no refined flour ;).

I made the banana bread and it came out really good. I don't know about making muffins out of it.
