Notes

Use whichever oil you prefer to cook with. I use olive oil.
Use whichever milk suits your dietary requirements. I use cow's milk. For a dairy-free alternative, try rice milk (note that in Australia, oat milk is not recommended for coeliacs).
You can wrap individual slices of banana bread and freeze. Defrost at room temperature as required.
