This recipe is a conglomeration of several over the years, with numerous personal tweaks. It's been long enough and altered enough that I have no idea where the "original" even came from. My hope was for this bread to end up dairy-free and lower in sugar than most banana breads, while still moist and satisfying. It finally meets the mark! Track down some spotted bananas and enjoy. :)
Of note, my favorite variation is to mix in mini chocolate chips and toasted walnuts--The best. Personal opinion.
(I also apologize that the provided photo gives you almost zero indication of what this bread looks like. Come to think of it, this one was back in my archive and might not even be the same loaf…Hm. Let's just go with it.)

5. Stir in bananas and mix-ins.

*I'll try omitting this bit the next go around to see if it's still as tasty without.
