It seems everyone has made a loaf of Banana Bread or has wanted to, but didn’t have a recipe. I have made loaves over the years from several recipes but none of them were memorable. Well, I had three nicely ripe bananas and I wanted to come up with a recipe for Banana Bread that the family would love, and that I could freeze. I had eaten a White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie that week and in my mind banana and white chocolate and coconut (not sure how that slipped in there) and macadamia nuts sounded perfect.
Not only was it perfect it was moist and delicious and freezes up like a dream. I made two full loaves of bread, but the second time around I made 6 mini loaves and they are the perfect size to give as a gift. Great to pull out when a friend stops over to visit or for breakfast or brunch. However if you have a full house the large loaves won’t last.
Using the almond flour cuts down on the gluten and adds a bit of protein. Enjoy, xo Amy
