Banana Nut Bread

My look no further Go-to Recipe for the BEST Banana Nut Bread Ever!!

I present three variations:

  • Using all whole wheat flour (atta) or
  • Using all multigrain flour (my choice) or
  • 50% whole wheat flour and 50% All purpose flour

This keeps well at room temperature 3-4 days quite easily.
You can bake this as a cake, as a loaf or as muffins, your pick!
The pic below uses whole wheat flour(atta) and all purpose flour(maida) in the proportion of 1:1

  1. Hello Ruchi,

    I tried your above recipe to make a banana loaf for our camping trip. I tweaked it a little by adding cranberries instead of walnuts (too many allergies to think about). It was an awesome hit and every bite got gobbled up.

    Just a little request if you have a similar recipe using whole wheat flour and all purpose flour to make zucchini bread/cake with or with out nuts. I have few zucchinis from my garden, thought I could use them in a bread/cake.

    Love all your wonderful recipes on FB and on this blog.

    Please let me know, Thank you so much!!!

  2. Hi Ruchi Can I use flax seed powder instead of eggs. Do you have any tip for a soft and spongy cake if you make it eggless?

  3. Which oil did you use in this?

  4. Hi Ruchi. I only have maida at home. Can I make this using just that?

  5. Hi ruchi, for muffins can we put paper baking cups directly in oven or muffin tray is mandatory?
