Lemon cranberry banana bread

I tried this last week and tweaked a few things and it really didn't work out so I decided to try it again today.

I printed out this recipe and just tweaked a couple of things today. I replaced the sugar with sweetener and used lemon extract instead of orange. With the tweaks and making 3 mini loaves that had 6 slices each they came out to 1pp/slice.

Think of the possibilities: cocoa/white chocolate chip, banana pecan, pumpkin cranberry, lemon poppyseed etc
