Yummy banana-nuts loaf

Hi all,

I just made this deliciouse banana-nuts loaf. 

Here is the recipe.

http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/sourdoughbananabread

I used toasted pecans instead of walnuts and orange zest instead of orange rind. And instead of using 1/3 cups of shortening, I devided this amount 50/50 between butter and shortening.

It's so moist and tender and tasts great!

 

happy baking!

Yummy! I really like the bits of purple in the crumb from the nuts.

Great bake

lovely loaf indeed! Half of the loaf is gone lol

and the recipe is similar, I liked the one I used for using nuts. 

I'm working on my sandwich bread (pan loaf too) today. I will use a recipe from Maurizio (theperfectloaf.com), so tomorrow morning, it will on the oven. I'll post.

I really love banana bread! The addition of pecans and walnuts sounds really lovely and not to mention that is a really beautiful banana bread!
