  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the banana mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, stir together ube halaya, non-dairy milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
  6. Spoon alternating layers of the banana batter and ube mixture into the loaf pan, then swirl gently with a knife.
