Recipe notes
Bananas have been historically low in salicylates (0.34mg/kg Wood et al. 2011, 0mg/kg Swain et al. 1985, 0.05mg/kg Robertson & Karmode 1981), but have also tested as a medium-level salicylate (5.39mg/kg. Malakar et al. 2017, includes free plus bound salicylic acid).
I react to bananas when they are not ripe, and tolerate them much better if they are cooked. When eating them raw, I try to limit them to half a banana. Banana bread is one of my go-to ways I incorporate bananas into my diet.
I personally can't eat fortified flour with vitamin B's added, so I always use an unfortified wheat flour - usually Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead, or King Arthur Mill.
