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!

    I’ve tried about 6 different recipes in the past year and this is my absolute favorite, even better that I didn’t have to use my hand blender or mixer. Turned out better than all the previous recipes and I’m saving this one forever! Thank you!
