Banana Walnut Bread

Our Favorite Banana Walnut Bread

We enjoy a good banana bread. Banana bread became popular back in the 1930s when baking soda and baking powder gained popularity. You can add many things to your banana bread such as blueberries, chocolate chips and different types of nuts. We like walnuts in ours.

This is a wonderful Banana Walnut Bread recipe contributed by our friend Dawn Brockett.
