Description
I hope you enjoy this very healthy and delightful banana bread recipe using the wonderful walnut. It is a nut we do not use as often as a flour per se’, but I feel we should. I also give you the option to add chopped walnuts to the top, inside the batter or not at all. Try the recipe in whatever way strikes your fancy. As they say, variety is the spice of life. I have to agree.
Ingredients
- 1 cup walnut flour, finely ground

Instructions

- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix.

- After 25 minutes of baking cover lightly with tin foil.
- Remove from oven and let cool on a baking rack for at least 15 minutes.
