Eggless Spiced Banana Walnut Bread is a flavorsome bread made with spices as cinnamon and ginger included. This has just the right sweetness that it surely makes a delicious breakfast bake.
I already have a couple of Banana Breads already on the site, I am obsessed with Banana Bread. So decided to have the second week of Bake-a-thon 2018 dedicated to Banana Breads. I will share 3 different Banana bread with different combinations. Today's bread is made with the addition of cinnamon and ginger. While you can go overboard and add a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and half teaspoon ginger powder, I just added a huge pinch of both.
Even with just a pinch of each, my colleagues were able to feel the cinnamon, though nobody felt the ginger, even though these spices added to the overall effect of the bread. While the loaf was perfectly baked, was moist and tender, I wanted the bread to be a bit more dried. So maybe the ratio of banana to flour should be checked again.
The loaf had a beautiful banana aroma and flavour and makes a fantastic breakfast bread. The walnuts added a delicious crunch to the bread. So for the second week of Bake-a-thon, I have spiced banana walnut bread. If you are interested in Banana Bread or bakes with banana, check out my collection:

It's obvious I am obsessed with banana flavour, and I still have some to try! I enjoyed making different pound cakes for week 1 and then moving to Banana Breads for Week 2. Everybody at home loved all the bakes to date and my colleagues even asked what next. So when I said it was going to be Banana Breads, they can't wait to try!.
So here comes the first one in the series of Banana Bread, a simple version of bread with walnut and spices in it.

A banana bread with cinnamon and ginger sounds so flavourful and festive too. I too baked with ginger and felt that it has to be more, and recently I read and while talking to a few people here came to know that you really need to add more ginger to get that flavour.
