Notes & Variations

Dietitian Notes
Banana bread is such a classic comfort but can often be too sweet to enjoy daily. This recipe is a great option for that sweet tooth craving. Oats provide fiber and steady energy while bananas provide potassium. Daily Elements contributes phytonutrients from microgreens. The great thing is, you can also choose toppings that round out your nutritional needs. Fruits and nuts can add extra vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats for a perfect way to start your day.
