Low-Fat, High-Fiber Yummy Banana Bread image

I make this each and every time we have bananas that are over-ripe. I toast slices to have along with my coffee for breakfast. I also use toasted slices to make peanut butter sandwiches for the kids' lunches. Who says if it's good for you it can't taste good too? The original recipe, which I have adapted quite a bit, came from Nick Malgieri's book "How to Bake."

This recipe can make one medium loaf and a dozen and a half rolls. 5) Set in a warm place and allow to rise until double in bulk. 6) Bake in 370 degree oven for 10 minutes, then turn oven down to 350 and bake until done.
