This banana bread is so moist, you won’t believe there’s no butter or oil in it! Customize this recipe to your liking: Swap applesauce with an equal amount of vegetable oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil. Use your favorite dairy-based or other plant-based milk instead of almond milk. And another flavor profile by stirring a half cup of chopped pecans, walnuts, or chocolate chips into the batter.
