Notes
- Measurements: I recommend using a digital kitchen scale (the Amazon affiliate link opens in a new tab). I measured everything using cups, too, but still, I think using a scale guarantees the best results.
- Rhubarb: I had 2 medium-sized stalks of rhubarb.
- Bananas: Unpeeled weight – about 10 ½ oz/300 g
- Butter: I prefer to use unsalted butter in baking; if you use salted butter, leave out the salt in the recipe.
- Flour: You can make the bread with all-purpose flour, too.
