TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

• Use very ripe bananas with a lot of brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
• We like the bread plain or topped with nut butter or with a simple frosting made with combination of maple syrup and cream cheese.
• You can make this dairy-free by using nut butter, such as peanut butter or almond butter, instead of the butter.
• You can make this gluten-free by using certified gluten-free rolled oats.
• You can use honey instead of maple syrup (but avoid honey for babies under 12 months.)
