Walnut Quick Bread

Submitted by Kathy228

"The perfect size for one or two people when baked in two mini loaf pans. Eat one now and store one for later. Freezes very well. Tastes best when tightly wrapped and allowed to set overnight. I like to use walnut or coconut oil, but any neutral/mild tasting oil will do fine. There are variations listed below."

This made a perfect size loaf in a regular pan. Excellent moist flavor! I did not put the nuts on the top. I put them in the batter. I used walnuts. I made a second loaf also and followed exact instructions with walnuts put put two very ripe mashed bananas and that was also delicious! This is quick and very easy. Thanks for posting.
