This scrumptious banana nut bread is super moist with just the right amount of banana flavor, walnuts, and a touch of cinnamon. In about ten minutes, you can have this bread prepped and in the oven. It makes the house smell so good, and it tastes better than any bakery loaf. This is one of our favorite classic banana bread recipes with the perfect balance of sweetness and flavors of banana and cinnamon spice.
