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.

Ingredients You Will Need

I personally love shopping at Aldi, so if you are an Aldi shopper too, you can find most of these ingredients there.

• 1/3 cup of unrefined virgin coconut oil
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
