Notes

There is not a good sub for cassava flour without changing the recipe. Please see my other banana bread recipes here.

If you want a sweeter bread, add about 1/4 cup granulated sugar (coconut, date, etc.) while mashing the banana.

Feel free to add about 1/2 cup chocolate chips if you’d like.
