Notes

Any nutritional information is an estimate by online calculators. Please verify using your own data.

*The original recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of salt but I found this to be too much when I tested the recipe. I recommend ½ of a teaspoon but you can try the full teaspoon if you are not sodium sensitive.

Storage: Store any leftover banana bread in an airtight container. It will be good for up to four days after baking.
