Low fat banana bread that is actually good

I have tried a number of low fat recipes and many are pretty bad. One that Kathryn found that is quite tasty and relatively easy is the following banana bread recipe:

Only 14% of calories are from fat (assuming you don't butter it afterwards)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light butter, softened
1 2/3 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3)
1/4 cup fat free milk
1/4 cup low fat sour cream
2 large egg whites
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
cooking spray

1. Pre-heat oven to 350.
2. Combine sugar and butter in a bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add banana, milk, sour cream, and egg whites; beat well.
3. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; stir well. Add flour mixture to banana mixture, beating until blended.
4. Spoon batter into baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 45. Test with wooden tooth pick (it should come out clean). Cool completely.
