Hi Joan! If I were you I would replace at least 1/2 cup of the oil with unsweetened applesauce, and use 6 egg whites (or the equivalent amount of Egg Beaters... 3/4 cup I think) in place of the eggs. I would also use plain soy milk in place of the milk, and instead of "greasing" the pan before you flour it I'd spray it with non-fat cooking spray. Other than that, it looks great! Yum. If you do try it with the modifications, let us know how it goes!

Thanks Kree. I will try that. Do you think I could replace even more of the oil with applesauce? Have you tried any of the other fruit replacements they sell at the grocery store?
What do you use as a butter or margarine replacement? Sorry I am so full of questions.
Thanks,
Joan

Hi - in general, for most quick breads you can get away with dropping the oil down to 1/4 cup per loaf. Replace the rest with applesauce or any other fruit puree that sounds good to you. This trick works for replacing butter/margarine in quick bread recipes as well. For other baked goods, you sometimes need a solid fat instead of a liquid oil. In these instances, use something like Soy Garden or Spectrum spread, but still keep the overall quantity low.
Check the recipe index for a huge variety of baked goods recipes that will give you lots of ideas for IBS-safe cooking and substitutions.

Thanks for all the suggestions Heather, I will try them out.
Thanks also for the difference you have made with my IBS. Now that I know about the recipe exchange I will keep up with the recipes.

It looks like Heather answered your questions a lot better than I could have! I wasn't sure how much applesauce it was okay to sub, so I learned from her post, too. And I wouldn't have known how to answer you about soy margarine, because I can tolerate regular unsalted margarine so that's what I use. I hope you enjoy the recipes! I made Heather's Brown Sugar Banana Bread last week and it was amazing. I would highly recomment that one!
