Moist and delicious banana nut bread has an old-fashioned maple walnut flavor and is easy to make in a Bundt pan, with an attractive fluted shape.
Bundt Pan Banana Nut Bread
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
My recipe of the day for Bundt Bakers is Bundt Pan Banana Nut Bread- which takes the guesswork out of trying to figure out if a recipe is going to work if you may have misplaced your loaf pan. Besides. It’s prettier.
And my apologies if I am being a home-wrecker when it comes to your diet. But everything in moderation, right?
It’s not going to help your diet if I tell you this might just be the best tasting banana bread I have ever made, is it? I won’t hide the secret- it’s the maple and molasses.
So this is not going to be as light colored as some banana bread recipes, but richer and darker with more caramel and old-fashioned flavor (some of that comes from using brown sugar as well).
