Tips

  • Make sure your bananas are very ripe. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be.
  • You can substitute the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour if you prefer.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute it with honey or agave nectar.
  • If you don't have unsweetened almond milk, you can use any plant-based milk you prefer.
  • If you want to add some extra flavor to your banana bread, you can add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
  • Make sure you let your bread cool completely before slicing. If you slice it too soon, it may fall apart.
