I made this and it’s the best banana loaf recipe I’ve tried yet! Swapped milk for buttermilk, flour to Edmonds SR gluten free, oil to bran oil. Great soft crumb but NOT crumbly, perfect the next for toasting and again not crumbly. Awesome for GF baking!

I’ve used this recipe for years and I love it! Always moist and super delicious. I use extra virgin olive oil and 1/4 cup of sugar instead of 1/2.
Yummy winner.
