I am pretty sure that every single household during our COVID-19 lockdown has wondered what to do with the browning bananas in the fruit bowl! Well, this recipe will take a couple off your hands and is easy to make and terribly tasty. If you aren’t a nut lover then feel free to leave them out or alternatively try another nut that you happen to have in your pantry. This is banana bread lockdown stylee don’t forget! By no means feel you have to race out to the shops to pick up ingredients. As long as you have the basic ingredients the banana bread will work. The extras like chocolate and nuts can be swapped or left out completely.

I have made my fair share of banana bread over the years. In fact, banana bread is one of my favourite sweet treats. This Banana, Chocolate & Nut Bread is next level though. Steve even said it was the best he had ever tasted.

I recently read somewhere, although I can’t remember where, that a baker or chef had recommended drizzling tahini and honey over your cut banana bread. I can confirm that this is the ultimate way to serve this cake. It takes it to another level entirely. In fact, I don’t think I can contemplate serving it any other way now.

Of course, tahini might not be an ingredient that we all have readily in your pantry unless you regularly make your own hummus so don’t panic if you haven’t any. Try just a drizzle of honey over your banana bread or even from the oven with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, pouring cream or a smear of nut butter. There are so many options and now my mouth is watering!

As I drool in anticipation of another slice with a cup of tea I will guide you back to the recipe. Like I said previously, this is a lockdown bake so please don’t rush out to buy any ingredients that you don’t already have. If you don’t have walnuts, chocolate, tahini or honey you can still make this. The first 6 ingredients in this recipe are the important ones and your banana bread will be delicious I assure you.
