*I don’t ever have buttermilk just sitting around so according to this handy and well-used cookbook, you can substitute milk with a splash of white vinegar. It works and they’re still yummy. I’ve actually never made the recipe with buttermilk, I always do the substitution.
*Also, we don’t like nuts in our banana bread, but adding nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit to this bread is perfectly acceptable!
Thank you for linking up with Together in the Kitchen!! And I am SO EXCITED…I have been looking for a simple banana bread recipe that didn’t have tons of ingredients…this is PERFECT! thank you!!!! xoxo
