    Banana bread with walnuts - perfect breakfast and dessert recipe!
    Moist banana bread with walnuts

    This is simply the best recipe I've found so far for the most moist, perfectly sweetened, and easy banana bread. I added walnuts to this recipe, but they are totally optional, even though I love my banana bread with walnuts. This recipe is so easy, you don't even need a mixer - just mix everything with a big wooden spoon!

      SO GOOD! And it’s easy- double bonus! I only cooked mine 50 minutes the first time and that was a little too done to me. I reduced the cook time the next time to 35 minutes and it was perfect. Definitely pinned and will use again and again!

      Super delicious and easy to make. I make it healthier by substituting half the flour quantity with whole wheat flour and use half the quantity of plain flour. Then I add the extra calories by topping it with loads of good fresh butter

      I just made this Wonderful Banana Bread for the 1st time. It was So Simple and Easy to follow the recipe. But most of all IT WAS DELICIOUS! I just wanted to share my one Simple hack on the mashed bananas, I started peeling the bananas into a quart size storage bag to mash them, No wooden spoon, and then it slides out of the bag So Easily, I then throw the Banana peels into the bag and toss.
