I have been making a banana nut bread recipe since I was little. This one’s been passed down through the family for years. I’m pretty sure this recipe comes from my grandma.

Why I love this recipe

You know how there’s those weeks where everyone has to eat two bananas a day so the next week you stock up and no one will eat bananas? That’s where this becomes into play. It’s frustrating to see good produce good ways, so why not make something delicious with it?

This recipe comes together really quickly and takes about 45 minutes to bake. There are very few ingredients which you already have on hand.

Ingredient list:

• Ripe Bananas
• Sugar
• Butter
• Eggs
• Flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Walnuts

That’s it! See, I bet you have all these things already in your pantry. If not, I’ll link them below.

I use my KitchenAid mixer for this recipe. But you can also do this by hand or use a hand mixer. For me it just seems like the KitchenAid makes everything quicker. But there’s no reason you can’t do this by hand.

Banana nut bread is delicious and semi healthy. The nuts add some depth of flavor and nutritional value as well as the bananas. I typically use walnuts in this recipe however you can use whatever you prefer.

This recipe typically gets devoured within a day or two in my house. And at the same time I’m utilizing produce that goes to waste. Win-win.

I love making this recipe in the fall and winter because it makes the house smell so good. Smells like he just little candle and the house is filled with a sweet and savory aroma. Recipe is easily doubled if you are needing extra for a large crowd. You can also make this muffins or even jumbo muffins.

If you are baking for the holidays, this is a great recipe to add to whatever gift basket you’re giving away. A fresh loaf of banana bread, a candle and a bottle of wine or some specialty drink is the perfect gift to give away to a friend Neighbor , or anyone else in the family.
