Notes

Ideas for substitutions:
Sometimes I like to swap half of the butter for equal parts applesauce.
You can use all purpose flour in place of freshly milled flour.
I have also used this recipe to make zucchini and pumpkin bread. I use 2 cups of shredded zucchini or pureed pumpkin in place of the bananas.
