Banana Walnut Bread
Banana bread is the best thing you can make from overripe bananas. It's healthy, easy to make, delicious and you can eat it right away for breakfast.
Okay so funny story: the first time I heard about “Banana Bread” was when I watched Soul Surfer. There is this one scene where she’s trying to make breakfast with the family after she was discharged from the hospital. I was a teenager and thought to myself “what is banana bread?”.
So I googled it and made my first banana bread.
Years later I am still obsessed with it and experiment with it all the time. I like adding in different ingredients and swapping out the flour etc.
This banana bread with walnuts is by far one of my favorites. The summer of 2022 was the summer of me making this 1-2 every week. So I had to share the recipe with you.
I also posted the video on how I made this here.
