Tips

I often use almond milk or yogurt whey in place of milk with good results.

I like to toast the pecans with butter and salt prior to chopping, but it is not required.

For a healthier option, I will sub 1 cup quick oats for one cup flour and increase the baking powder to two heaping teaspoons. One can substitute applesauce for the oil. One can also substitute granular monk fruit for the sugar, and brown sugar substitute for the brown sugar.

Pack the small dice banana into the measuring cup.
