Notes
You can make this banana bread recipe without baking soda if you like. just omit it and add a tablespoon of baking powder to this recipe.
I like to mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl first and then add to wet ingreients. Store in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap for 3-4 days. You an freeze banana bread if wrapped in plastic wrap and foil.
