Cinnamon: Instead of this ingredient, you can add nutmeg, pumpkin pie, or allspice.

Variations

You can enhance the flavor of banana bread by adding different items to your taste.
Banana Bread with nuts: We will add half a cup of chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews into the mixture. It gives an amazing taste.

Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips: You can add chocolate chips to the banana bread mixture.

Gluten-free Banana Bread: Use gluten-free flour. You can use any brand of gluten-free flour like King Auther.

Banana Bread with Streusel Topping: Streusel is a crumble typically made with butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this crumble over the banana bread before baking.
