Notes
- Low-sugar: If you'd prefer a lower sugar banana bread feel free to reduce the amount of sugar to 1/2 cup. I've tested this bread with both 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup sugar and both turned out great.
- Dairy-free: To make this banana bread dairy-free use melted coconut oil or vegan butter and swap the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt.
