Total(tm) Cereal Banana Bread (a recipe redo)

This past sat, I was shopping with my bonnie bride and saw the back of a Total Cereal coupon, with a recipe for Banana bread on it. It incorporated the Total cereal into the recipe. Intruiged, I decided to make the bread. It is Good.....

Let's get our ingredients together:



Mixed and ready for the oven:



Done, cooled, and eaten:



YUM.

1/16th of the loaf, about a 1/2" slice, equates to about 125 calories. As made via the recipe, it would work out to about 180(?). MasterCook equated 93 cals/slice for this recipe, with my substitutions, but my paper calculations yielded 125. Regardless, it's some tasty bread.

Here's my recipe:

1 1/4 cups Splenda
2 tablespoons Smart Balance
3 egg whites
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas, about 3 to 4 medium
2/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 A.P. flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cups Total® cereal, slightly crushed

Preheat oven to 350'F.

In large bowl, mix sugar and margarine.
Stir in eggs whites until well blended.
Add bananas, yogurt and vanilla; beat until smooth.
Stir in remaining ingredients except cereal just until moistened.
Stir in cereal.
Pour into 2 greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch pans, or 1 greased 9x5x3 inch pan.

Bake for about 1 hr if using 8" pans, or 1 hr, 15 min if using 9" pan. Remove when toothpick inserted into middle of loaf comes out clean.

Cool for 5 min then turn out onto cooling rack; let cool for another hour. (If you can wait that long.
