Instead of using whole wheat flour, you can use plain flour for better texture. Half whole wheat and half plain flour can be used.
Increase sugar to ¾ cup if you prefer sweeter banana bread.
Instead of melted butter you can use oil or ghee.
Any nut milk can be used for regular milk.
Never over mix the batter or over bake the cake. Else it will get dense and dry out.
