Banana Walnut Bread is finally up on the blog after so long. This post has been long due and finally I am glad its up and running. Sometimes I wonder what is more difficult creating a dish or sharing the recipe. ha ha
Well I love both of the them but yes, the latter one sometimes is always my pending itmes. So I learnt the original version of this Banana Walnut Bread from my Mother In Law .However over the time have made changes as they happened and as I learnt more healthy cooking.
infact I love creating these without any sweetners . But then I feel kids would need a little sweet so sharing the version with a little healthy sweetner. This recipe has goodness of wholewheat instead of refined, used cold pressed oil instead of butter and offcourse the white sugar is no where to be seen.
This Banana Walnut Bread is extremely easy to make and you would just love making it. Trust me most cakes are similar expect for a little here and there and once you get a hang of things, all you need to do is innovate.
Oh if you are looking for more healthy bakes..here it is

If it becomes difficult to folk add couple of tbsp of milk and then add chopped walnuts. Do not over mix it,
Grease a pan, here I took a loaf pan and then add the batter and lightly tap it. Sprinkle some chopped walnuts too.
