Banana Walnut Bread
Simple yet delicious banana walnut bread for you breakfast, dessert or a mid day snack.
Do you have ripe bananas sitting in your kitchen? Well, I got the best banana bread recipe for you that requires those very ripe bananas. This recipe has both vegan and regular ingredient options. You can also use either whole wheat or all purpose flour to make this deliciousness. Add some walnut to add crunch and earthiness to this it! Banana and walnut is one of my favorite food combinations. And that is why this bread is one my fav!
If you like chocolate taste in your bread, check out this chocolate banana zucchini bread! Its one of my favorite just like this one! I like to spread a generous amount of creamy peanut butter on a slice of this bread and drizzle some honey on it. Pair it with hot tea or coffee for some tea time fun!
I hope you like it as much as we do. If you end up making it and liking it, tag me on Instagram @myvegetarianroots.
