Introduction
I've been making this banana nut bread for a while. It always comes out a little bit different, and I think it mostly has to do with the ripeness of the bananas. I find the the ripest the bananas, the tastier the bread. This recipe asks for walnuts, but other nuts (such as pecans) can also be used. The banana bread also tastes better the day after it's baked. Just wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it out on the counter overnight to let the flavors develop. It can be served on its own, with butter or jam. I personally find that it's better when warm, so I always re-heat it for 20 seconds in the microwave.Check my blog for more vegetarian recipes: http://vegetarianswife.blogspot.com I've been making this banana nut bread for a while.
