A moist, classic Banana Nut Bread recipe that is both easy and delicious!
Every single month I always come across as surprised at how far we are into the year.
This month it’s already October and I don’t get it. How did we get here? How is it only 2 1/2 months from Christmas?
In fact, when you’re reading this, it will be 81 days left until Christmas. Say what? I feel like we just celebrated, though I am staring down Halloween.
It’s definitely Fall here. We’ve had cool and chilly days, leaves are changing and I’m a very happy girl.
This is my favorite time of year. And what better recipe than Banana Nut Bread?
This is a time I find myself in the kitchen baking more, enjoying aromatic smells from the kitchen on a near daily basis.
Today is Group A’s reveal for the Secret Recipe Club. The blog I was assigned to, is Mother Would Know, written by Laura. Laura’s blog holds countless recipes and ideas for great food, including Sour Cream Muffins with Chocolate Chunks & Cherry, Lamb Meatballs and Grilled Vegetable Shish Kebabs.
I let my daughter have the final this month, and she picked this delicious Banana Bread recipe, because (and I quote) “Who doesn’t love banana bread?”. She’s right, it was an easy sell for me and with our colder weather, I’ve been craving things just like this. We loved this recipe and thought it was both simple and delicious!

Your banana bread looks wonderful! I have bananas sitting on my counter that either need to go in bread or in the garbage can. I think I’ll be making this later today.
I’m a bit addicted to banana bread and we love creating new variations. This is such a simple but delicious recipe, I am so glad I picked it!
I love your version of my banana bread – even more so because your daughter was the one to pick out which recipe you tried. The banana bread is one of my kids’ favorites on the blog too!
We loved your banana bread Laura, so delicious! I love allowing my mini to help me pick recipes, because she usually picks the best ones 🙂
I’m with you Nicole – love the cooler weather – and now you’ve baked the perfect bread to enjoy the cooler days with.
We might be alone in our love for cooler weather, hahah I keep seeing everyone complaining. Not me. This bread is fantastic on a cool morning with a cup of hot coffee or tea. Happy Fall!
That looks beautiful! You can never have too many recipes for banana bread 🙂
The funny thing is, that often they taste different and this one does from my traditional banana bread. This has a more banana flavor which mine is lacking. I love this one.
But seriously, who doesnt love banana bread? Definitely one of my favorite snacks.
