Tips for Making Banana Nut Bread

Here are a few tips for how to make banana nut bread from scratch. I personally enjoy making this bread, and have changed a few things here and there, over time. These are just a few things I’ve learned/tweaked.

  • You can add walnuts to this recipe if you would like. My family personally prefers it without nuts.
  • I always add cinnamon to this recipe, this is something you can leave out if you prefer it without.
  • Baking this banana bread can be a bit tricky with the oven temperature. I like to check it every couple minutes right before its done, so I don’t burn the bottom.

This recipe is one I’ve adapted overtime, and probably will continue to tweak.

However, I have been making it this way for quite sometime, and I want to give it a place on the blog to link back to.

My boys also love this bread for an easy and quick breakfast option.
