One of my personal favorite snacks? Banana nut bread. It’s so versatile! You can enjoy it for breakfast (toasted banana bread with butter is my jam), a snack, or even as a dessert, especially when topped with Nutella. Then again, isn’t everything better topped with Nutella? But I digress. If you’re looking for a really spectacular banana nut bread recipe, this one from the Food Network definitely takes the cake…or the bread. Watch the video below to see how this Food Network favorite is made, then go make this sweet treat for yourself.

The best thing about banana bread is not just how great it tastes straight out of the oven (which is amazing, by the way) but how great it tastes the NEXT day! Somehow this bread manages to be even better after settling for a day. The magic of banana bread.

The great thing this recipe teaches us is how to chose the best ripeness of banana for the perfect banana bread. Turns out, for perfectly moist, flavorful bread, you don’t just want ripe banana…you want REALLY ripe bananas. The more you know!
