Reduced-Sugar Banana Bread is rated 4.9 out of 5 by 22.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Truvia Banana Bread I love banana bread and its been yrs since I've made one. Brown sugar is a favorite , I love the Brown sugar blend. The texture was great but I think it needs more banana flavor. I always add extra vanilla,so 1tsp is what I used. I used powered low-fat milk and vinegar to make the buttermilk. I will make again but use another banana.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Tasty! Last year I learned I was borderline diabetic so I started seeking out recipes to help lower my a1c levels and get my sugar in check. This is a very tasty dense bread with less than half the sugar of traditional banana breads.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from tastes just like the full sugar banana bread Tastes as good as the full sugar recipe I've used for years. The key to tender banana bread is to be sure not to overbeat the dough when combining

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wondeful! I used white whole wheat pastry flour instead of AP and it turned out great! The kids could not tell the difference.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't believe it's not sugar! ;) I've been trying to reduce the sugar in my diet. My family loves banana nut bread and I had a bag of the Truvia Brown Sugar Blend so I tried this recipe. I was skeptical at first about only using 1/2 cup but it came out yummy! My husband loves that it's not full sugar. I'm going to experiment using it with coconut or almond flour recipes now!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Sugar-free Banana Bread This recipe turns out a loaf as delicious as one you'd get at a bakery. I've tried making recipes using "other" sugar substitutes and always ended up with a gummy loaf. This was light and had a lovely texture.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful, tasty, low cal what more can you want! I made this BB about 6 weeks ago, and it is great! It's funny how some low cal foods can taste as good as fattening ones! I am so happy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just like the full sugar version! So as a lover of banana bread I was excited to try making it with Truvia. I love that it tastes just like the full sugar version. The bread was light and fluffy. I had no issues with cutting it, it wasn't gummy at all. I don't change things in online recipes but adding some chocolate chips (or carob chips) would be a fun addition to this delicious breakfast bread!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great to be able to eat Bsnana Bread again Being diabetic ther have been some foods I love but have had to give up doe to high carbohydrate count! This recipe has allowed me to enjoy Bsnana Bread again! I say this with all honesty you can't tell the difference between bread made with Truvia and cane sugar! My blood sugars can but my taste buds can't. Note: try replacing the refined sugar in some of your favorite recipes with Truvia or Truvia Brown Sugar Blend! You'll be amazed!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just An Awesome With Walnuts Very easy to make just follow the directions. I added walnuts for the nutty taste. It came out moist and yummy. I am taking into work to share with my co-workers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste. I have made this several times using only Truvia and no one could tell the difference than when I used sugar. Love this recipe. Seems like I always have bananas that I need to use NOW and I have told just about everyone about using Truvia in all of my baking and my drinks. No sugar anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Moist and delicious!!! I made this the other day and I was so happy I did. Banana nut bread has always been one of my favorite desserts. Since this was only banana bread I added some walnuts into the mix. I was pleasantly surprised how amazing it turned out. The hubby was shocked when I told him I used Truvia instead of regular sugar. I will defiantly be making this again and sharing it with others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and Tasty This is my "go to" recipe for when I have ripened bananas. I have substituted Truvia Baking Blend. This is so easy and it contains everything I have on hand--no shopping for special ingredients. I back for 50 minutes only. I love it, my husband loves it and I have even gifted a loaf or two to friends. This is a definite keeper!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Best Banana Bread Recipe Just purchased this product for the first time and I baked this bread with a couple tweaks. 1) I used 2 Tbs. regular sugar and substituted the "spoonable" with the "baking" blend. 2) I added 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. 3) Baked only 50 minutes. Both my husband and I love it and definitely will make again.
