I LOVE this recipe. So healthy and tasted so good. I used organic strained carrots in place of the oil. I also used a little bit of flax seed mixed in but no one could tell. They didn't know I used baby food either. I made this for my daughter-in-law while she was pregnant and then after the baby, I made several for her and froze them. She loves them. Thanks for the great recipe!

It was good. I substituted agave for sugar, since that's what I had in the house. It's a 1:1 substitution. use a quarter cup more flour if you use agave, as it's a liquid. I used ground flax seeds instead of the eggs -- for every one egg, substitute a tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with four tablespoons water. It bound the recipe together nicely. I added sunflower seeds, since I like em. The end result was nice, and is currently cooling on my table.
I'm curious about what one reviewer did - substituting apple sauce for the oil - and might try that next time.

This recipe has replaced our old banana bread recipe. Although we substitute the oil for applesauce and it still turns out great and tastes excellent!
