Banana bean bread is a Healthy and tasty breakfast bread with banana, bran and nuts. This Fiber rich healthy bread is also a yummy mid morning snack too. Kids can't say no to this tasty delight. This make-ahead banana nut bread stays good for 3 days at room temperature.
Banana is one fruit I would love to put in many recipes, I have already posted couple of banana based recipes in TMF. After a gap, here I am with another banana recipe.
Vishvak generally prefers having breakfast and lunch at home. There are only a few items which he tastes in school. Off late, his teacher tells me he enjoys banana bread. Every mom's biggest happiness to find their kid's favorite healthy snack.
I usually make eggless banana bread. Few weeks back while doing grocery trip I met a friend. We were chit chatting and she told she is looking for bran. Fibre rich bran is very good for health and told me to try giving to Vishvak.
I bought a box,and tried to give him, but looking at the texture and healthy taste he refused to eat. He said it is not cheerios/cornflakes. That day I couldn't find a way to make him eat. I ended up eating it.
After changing the bran to cereal dispenser when I was about to throw the box, I saw the banana bread recipe in the cereal box. Remembering his love for banana bread I just wanted to give it a try so started looking at the ingredients and recipe.
Loaded with banana this bread is not only rich in potassium, but is also a filling breakfast. Good part of this banana bread is using over ripe banana, instead of throwing over ripe banana delicious banana bran bread can be prepared. Luckily I had 3 bananas in my pantry.
Based on the ingredients I have at home and also our taste I did very few modifications to the recipe. Original Banana bread recipe called for margarine, I have never used it. Moreover I don't want to buy it as I have a tendency to keep certain things in fridge for ages. At times I even forget about once-used ingredients. I generally prefer using butter for my baking. It is healthy (I am not telling margarine is not healthy, I don't know anything about it) and the aroma while baking & tasting the butter recipes make me so addictive for it.
Nuts don't need a special shoutout😂 Good cholesterol from the Almonds not only makes it healthy, but nuts also gives nice crunch to the bread. For me this is one more reason to make my toddler eat nuts so I can't skip it.
Banana Bran Nut bread is a yummy make-ahead breakfast recipe. Mornings are a breeze with breakfast like this. All I should do is pack it for office. Well that also I do previous night😆 In our home we like to warm the bread before eating. 10 -15 sec in microwave, yum yum yum👌🏻 Did I forgot my one more favorite combo, banana bread and ice cream😋😋

I used to make bran muffins using raisin bran but your bread sounds so much better. It is sometimes difficult getting kids to eat what's good for them -- we moms have to be super inventive. I'm looking forward to trying your recipe.
My sons would really love this too, and I'd feel great about giving it to them with the bran being so healthy!
Love the addition of bran in this recipe and that you use wheat flour. I won't feel too bad if I eat half the loaf 🙂
