NOTES
SWAPS: You may use regular flour, it works great
HACK: Cut small strips of unsalted butter and place randomly on top of your batter (in your loaf pan) to create crunchy ridges while it's baking in the oven OR cut long thin strips of extra banana to garnish on top of your batter (in your loaf pan) to create texture while it's baking
