- Sweetness Trio: Light brown sugar provides sweetness with a hint of caramel, while (2 tbsp) turbinado sugar adds a touch of crunch to the topping.
- Flour Power: All-purpose flour forms the base of the bread, providing structure and stability. For a gluten-free alternative, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- Leavening Love: Baking powder and baking soda help the bread rise and achieve its perfect texture. Make sure they’re fresh for optimal results.
- Warmth & Spice: Ground cinnamon adds a touch of warmth and complements the sweetness of the bananas beautifully.
- Salty Delight: Salt balances the sweetness and enhances all the other flavors.
- Nutty Crunch: Chopped almonds and walnuts add delightful crunch and nutty flavor in every bite. Craving a different taste? Use sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a wonderful alternative.
- Cane Sugar: Cane sugar is used for the topping but you can always use turbinado sugar or regular sugar as a replacement. Its subtle caramel flavor and satisfyingly sweet taste make it a great ingredient for any recipe. So, whether it’s Turbinado or cane sugar, you can still achieve that delightful sweetness that will make your creations irresistible.
Top Tips:

Keeping Your Bread Fresh: Storage & Freezing Tips
Storing: Leftover banana nut bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4-5 days. Here’s a pro-tip: Tightly wrap the bread in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out and losing its moist texture.
Freezing: If you want to enjoy your banana nut bread for longer, freezing is a great option! Let the bread cool completely, then double wrap it – first with plastic wrap, then with aluminum foil. This double layer helps prevent freezer burn. The bread will stay fresh for up to 3 months in the freezer. For easier thawing, consider pre-cutting the bread into individual slices before freezing.
Enjoy your delicious banana nut bread any time of the day, and store or freeze leftovers for a future treat!
