Sweetness: If you want this a little sweeter, you can also had 1/2 cup of coconut sugar into the egg + banana mixture.
Parchment Paper: feel free to place a piece of parchment across the bread pan (the short way) and then press down - pour the banana bread batter on top, making sure there are flaps sticking out on both sides. This makes it easier to lift out when done baking.
