Tips/ Tricks: Make this bread at the beginning of the week and cut a fresh slice each morning! Stevie loves this banana bread toasted in the toaster oven with smart balance original butter melted right on top. We also love serving this banana bread with a scoop of maple walnut ice cream or dairy free cool whip!
