Grandmother's Banana Nut Bread
Grandmother's Banana Nut Bread recipe is a classic moist, delicious dessert or breakfast treat that goes perfect with a cup of coffee. It only took my three years to get her "just keeping adding until it looks right" translated into a proper recipe.

Notes
- Make sure your bananas are over ripe for this recipe, you don't want them to be too firm or green. You don't want them bruised either! This is the perfect way to use up that forgotten batch of bananas that's been sitting on your counter for a week.
- It's up to you how small you want your walnut pieces to be, I personally like chunkier bites of nuts.
- If you double the recipe, you can make 5 of the small aluminum loaf pans worth of banana nut bread.
- You can store loaves in the fridge or freezer. Enjoy cold from the fridge or reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
