Banana breads are my family’s favorite evening time snack. Whenever we have leftover bananas that get too ripe to be consumed, it’s ‘banana bread’ time 😊 . With all the nuts and dry fruits added, the bread becomes a healthy option too. The soft and moist bread can be stored for at least a week and when refrigerated ,a little longer. Now, let’s get into the recipe.
