Banana nut bread is my idea of a nice breakfast or snack. With a warm cuppa cocoa, coffee or milk, You will definitely get hooked. Banana breads are one of the easiest and quickest quick breads to make. I love banana bread but I am a sucker for banana nut breads. Especially those that are richly endowed with a mix of nuts on top YUM ?

Easy Banana Nut Bread

What's you idea of a perfect breakfast? Mine is a delightfully yum bowl of hot oatmeal topped with fruits but this banana nut bread comes very close. You can have this banana nut bread anytime of the day and not get tired if you love bananas and you love nuts then this recipe is definitely calling your name.

Just slather the bread with some butter or peanut butter and o my... you are headed straight to dreamland... tell me about it ?You can decide to make this banana nut bread with the same recipe as my banana bread all you need to do is add some nuts to the batter and top it off with some more nuts. Because I love sharing variations to a recipe whenever I can I decided to use a slightly different recipe today which is more moist and stays soft even when it's straight out of the refrigerator. The secret ingredient in this recipe is oil.

Now to the nuts I find that I prefer to toast the nuts a bit before topping the banana nut bread batter with the nuts. My personal preference. You can skip the toasting process if you want but believe me it makes a nutty difference when you pre toast the nuts. I love to use a combination of almonds and walnuts but I guess you can use any combination of nuts you love like pecans and walnuts.

Today is definitely the perfect day to share this banana nut bread recipe because it is Mr K's favorite way to eat banana bread and today is his birthday. Happy birthday again my love and may God bless you with a long, healthy and happy life. ❤

Now are you ready to make some banana nut bread?? Let's go get those over ripe bananas...

Love

    The moistness of the bread combined with the crunch of the nuts is something I could go for right now! I can see why it'd be Mr K's favourite.
