Whether it’s for the kids, or a treat for YOU, banana nut bread is a comforting and delicious snack with a cup of coffee, tea, or milk.
This recipe is heavy on banana and lighter on sugar. That’s a good thing. Plus, it stores well and tastes just as good (or, better) the next day. One less thing to plan!

A perfect snack!
