Love baking these nut breads for friends and family to create that happy environment with some guilt free eating, I have great memories with this nut bread eating….all my evening breaks or a quick walk with friends at office means going to Starbucks and having a banana nut bread, and I truly crave for it …

This Super moist, healthy banana nut bread is truly delicious without any refined sugars and it satisfies all those nut bread cravings in a guilt freeway.  The magic ingredient in this recipe is super ripe bananas (when I say super ripe that mean not so good looking ) I make this recipe whenever I have sad looking bananas on my counter that need to be used, trust me that just changes the whole nut bread game.
