Notes
Almonds can be left out of this bread, or substituted with pecan, or walnuts. This recipe can also bake banana bread muffins and yield 12 regular-sized muffins (bake for approximately 20-25 minutes) or 6 large muffins (bake for about 25-35 minutes).Bananas must be very ripe. This ensures that the banana flavor will really be present in the bread.Butter can be substituted with baking margarine or vegan alternatives.Greek, plain yogurt, or sour cream can be substituted with buttermilk or kefir.Plain flour can be substituted with self-raising or self-rising flour, just leave out the baking powder.
