Whole-grain cereal, eggs whites instead of whole eggs and fat-free yogurt set this banana bread apart.

Although this bread is not a whole grain, I must say that I am impressed with it. I even like the fact that it uses Total which has iron in it, that many people need more of in their diet. I think it is a really good bread, but just needs to be renamed.

Used whole wheat flower, as all have mentioned, is really missing and odd that it is from a whole grain recipe! Regardless, it came out excellent. A few changes I would highly recommend: I used Splenda and no sugar. If you do that, know that Splenda bakes faster than sugar so it is a good idea to spray a bit of PAM on top of dough. Also, I split the amount of yogurt (used greek yogurt-much smoother and thicker and higher in protein) and added low fat sour cream for other half (1/3 cup each). Great flavor I must say although a bit more moist than you many expect from a banana bread. I also added chopped walnuts for texture, flavor, and more nutrients. I left out the cereal as the crunch comes from the walnuts. Overall, a really good, healthy recipe for the family.
