My goal this year is to become a really good baker. One of my favorite coffee shop treats is banana nut bread. It’s sweet. nutty and soooo good. Earlier this year I tried making it and it came out pretty good, but I’m determined to perfect it. Welllllll you guys, I think I perfected it!! It was so moist and delicious and I didn’t have to use a ton of bananas. I actually only had one on hand lol, but I was craving banana bread. It was super good and I’m so excited to be sharing with you all this delicious recipe.
Walnuts vs Pecans – normally banana nut bread is made with walnuts. However, I didn’t have any. butttttt I did have pecans. sooooo, pecans it was. When cooking, remember you can make whatever modifications that YOU want. There are some rules when cooking but, certain things like nuts… choose your fav.
