Recipe Name Gloria's Low Cal Banana Bread Submitted by Gloriamong
Recipe Description I created this recipe by combining the Splenda website's banana bread recipe with a sour cream banana bread recipe on allrecipes.com, and making a few adjustments of my own (whole wheat, yogurt in place of sour cream). They are as low calorie as you can make them, I think, but ooh still so good.

I had to use some firmer bananas since I didn''t have enough ripe ones, so to get all the lumps out I used a blender to mash the banan
