Here is a great Banana Nut Bread recipe I just had to share.
Truth be told I am not a vegan, not lactose intolerant (though I don’t really drink dairy, not that it matters). Nonetheless, as a foodie I have an appreciation for anything that is pleasing to the palate.
So regardless if you are vegan or not, this one will please the masses.
This came from one of the parents of my son’s preschool. All the children participated in preparing the bread for the rest of their peers. After we tried it we had to make it at home. We introduced it to our family and now I am sharing it with you.
Although I did not include it below, there were some slight alterations that we made during the numerous times we made the bread. Those included adding some chocolate chips. I generally prefer dark vs milk or semi sweet chocolate. Everyone’s palate is slightly different so have fun with it.
Enjoy!
