🌾 What Makes Our Banana Nut Bread Better?

Whole Grain Goodness: We use whole wheat flour to add fiber and keep you feeling fuller, longer. Natural Sweetness: Ripe bananas and a touch of maple syrup replace refined sugar. Healthy Fats: We swap out butter for heart-healthy olive oil or coconut oil. Nutty Nutrition: Walnuts bring crunch—and a good dose of omega-3s.

🍞 Nutri Yemi Banana Nut Bread Recipe

📝 Ingredients:

3 medium ripe bananas, mashed 2 large eggs 1/3 cup olive oil or melted coconut oil 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for topping) Optional: 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for added moisture

👩🏽‍🍳 Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and yogurt (if using). In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with extra walnuts on top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
