- If you don't have dates on hand, you can sub them for ⅛ cup honey

- really grease the pan you're going to use or use parchment paper to line it. Banana bread sticks.
- don't overlook letting it sit in the oven to finish cooking after you turn the oven off. After the cooking time, the banana bread will not look done. It's sitting in the oven that firms it up and makes it transition from a sloppy mess into awesome
- Likewise, be careful taking it out of the pan. Use a silicone spatula because it's delicate!
- Make sure to use light buckwheat flour and not dark or you'll have a gunky mess.
