Banana Nut Bread Recipe

Banana Nut Bread Recipe

Banana bread is wonderful for breakfast or as a sweet bread to have with coffee or tea. This banana nut bread recipe has a wonderfully nutty flavor and is perfectly moist. It is very easy to make which makes it a great solution for any time you have too many ripe bananas that may end up wasted otherwise.

If you have a serious craving for this recipe but not the uber-ripe bananas, there is an easy solution to this problem. Just toss your bananas in the freezer the night before and you should be good by the morning. If frozen almost black ripe bananas are quite to your taste, but your under-ripe bananas in a brown paper bag with an apple, and they should be perfectly ripe in a day or so.
