Dairy Free Moist Banana Bread with a cinnamon and sugar crust.
I’m always trying to think of new dairy free recipes that I can make due to someone in the house having a dairy allergy. I realized I hadn’t tried banana bread yet. This recipe was a big hit and is now my go to dairy free banana bread recipe. I took my regular favorite recipe and altered it a bit using oil in place of butter and it worked great.
My favorite part is the cinnamon and sugar crust that you make by dusting the greased pan with cinnamon and sugar. I also added cinnamon to the batter which is a secret ingredient that I think makes it taste great.
Baking the banana bread at a low temperature helps to keep it moist and from drying out.
