Lactation Banana Bread Recipe

Breastfeeding mom's unite! I have been fortunate not to struggle with supply issues but I always make sure to stay on top of managing my supply by drinking loads of water, gatorade (my secret supply booster!) and making lactation cookies. I made them quite often while breastfeeding Carter and it was a good excuse to sit back with cookies and milk and binge. This time around I got the urge to make them - thanks to the post of a good friend @giggleswithgabriel - but also craved some banana bread and went to scour the internet for a recipe to make both cravings come to life and sure enough one exists!
