Salt: Just a pinch to enhance all the flavors (don’t worry, it won’t make the bread taste salty). Bananas: Grab three ripe bananas and mash them up for that sweet banana flavor. Milk: A tablespoon of milk keeps the bread perfectly moist. Cinnamon: A dash of ground cinnamon adds a cozy warmth to every bite. Sugar: This recipe uses white sugar, but feel free to mix in some brown sugar for extra depth. Eggs: Whole eggs help bind everything together and keep the bread moist.
