We got some fun gifts from Hawaii this week! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

My daughter came back from Hawaii and brought my hubs and I some yummy Macadamia nuts! I love them in cookies and stuff. So I wanted to use them in some kind of muffin or bread. Doesn’t this look good? Well it IS! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Banana Macadamia Nut Bread….it’s delicious! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
<\/div>\n

 I looked around the kitchen and I had some bananas, some were overripe too! So this is what I came up with. I mixed up a couple of recipes I liked because I wanted this to be rich and dense, fruity bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Most of my bananas looked worse than these, but those dark, spotty ones make the best banana bread! Don’t throw them out! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

 I hate it when my banana bread is dry. With the added applesauce and all that banana and egg it makes it really rich and yummy. I did NOT take a picture of my yucky brown bananas. But it is a GREAT way to use them up. <\/p>\n

Here I added walnuts AND Macadamia Nuts from Hawaii to the mix….we love nutty breads! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

RECIPE FOR BANANA-MACADAMIA NUT BREAD <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/div>\n
1  teaspoon baking soda<\/div>\n
1\/4 teaspoon baking powder <\/div>\n
3\/4  cups white sugar<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup brown sugar  <\/p>\n
3\/4 cup butter or margarine<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
1 1\/4 cups mashed overripe bananas<\/div>\n
2 eggs, beaten<\/div>\n
1\/2  teaspoon cinnamon
1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg <\/div>\n
1\/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1\/2 cup chopped walnuts<\/p>\n

Mix up dry ingredients and set aside. Then in a mixing bowl, add wet ingredients scraping sides. Then add dry mixture. Finally add nuts. (You can add 3\/4 cup chocolate chips to the mix for a fun variation). Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes. It is done when top is browned and a few cracks show in the middle. <\/p><\/div>\n

It was DEEElish. My son Devin is home for a visit from Chicago and he and Caitlin liked it a lot. Well, we liked holding little baby Lena a LOT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
