I have tasted many Banana Bread recipes but this one is different. I have never tasted a BB this moist and the macadamia nuts make it more special. This bread brings back wonderful memories of KONA HAWAII. P.S. You can also add walnuts if you don't have macadamia nuts.

  • Mash the bananas well. This will help to ensure that the bread is smooth and evenly textured. You can use a fork, potato masher, or food processor to mash the bananas.
  • Use a combination of flours. This will help to give the bread a light and fluffy texture. You can use all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, or a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the bread from drying out. The ideal baking temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
