Kashka’s cha-spiced banana bread

This eggless recipe can easily be made vegan or gluten-free. Replace milk, butter and greek yogurt with dairy-free alternatives as desired. Also works well with gluten free all purpose flour—the applesauce and greek yogurt will prevent it from becoming dry so you get a moist, dense cake no matter what!

I hope you love it as much as I do <3
