Notes
- Sour cream can be substituted with full fat yogurt in banana bread. Avoid choosing a flavored or sweetened yogurt as it will affect the texture and taste of your bread.
- Macadamia Nuts- can substitute walnuts or pecans if desired. Or leave the nuts out completely!
- More Coconut Flavor- add in 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract if desired.
- Pans: For our recipe, we use 9x5-inch loaf pans. If using a different size pan, adjust the bake time accordingly.
- Can you freeze banana bread? Yes! Wrap cooled banana bread in plastic wrap or foil, then slide into a ziploc freezer bag. Store for up to three months. Thaw on counter (in bag) overnight.
