I have been making this recipe for over 25 years.  Of all the quick breads I make this Banana Nut Bread is the most requested.  When I make this bread I always make at least two.  One for us to eat and one for the freezer.

Banana Nut Bread is great to give as a gift or serve at a brunch.  Make in mini loaf or muffin size for an Easter Brunch.

If you double this recipe you can make:

2 full size loaves, 29 muffins, 18 mini loaves, 7 dozen mini muffins.

Add my Lemon Poppy Seed Quick Bread and my Fresh Strawberry Quick Bread for a variety.
