I was in the mood for some banana nut bread. This bread is baked at 325 degrees F. instead of 350 degrees F. I baked mine for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

OH you brought back some memories with this bread. I use to make it all the time for my family. Guess I will surprise them and make some again for them. I will try your recipe this time. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love banana nut bread and would love a slice of yours right now! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI just bought bananas & now I'm hoping they don't get eaten! Love that plate too!
ReplyDeleteWow....Banana bread...how lovely and perfect for a chilly day. A nice of tea or coffee would be heaven with this.
ReplyDeleteYumm! We love banana bread. I'd have to make two loafs... One for hubbs with the nuts and one for me without. That's one area of the food spectrum where we definitely don't have the same tastes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Good Morning Pat,
ReplyDeleteI just love the musical interlude, it brought tears to my eyes reminding me of my little ole Irish Grandmother, she was so special to me. Your Banana Bread looks so warm and inviting, great recipe! Hope you have a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Banana nut bread is one of my absolute favorites that I often return to. I'm always sort of happy when I have some bananas that are turning brown in my kitchen, because it means I have an excuse for making some banana bread - can't let those bananas go to waste! Your bread looks wonderful!
