This is delicious, Tina! I tried this tonight and found my breakfast for the next few days! Some may want to tone down the nutmeg flavor if they’re more into the traditional taste of banana bread, but I thought it was a scrumptious addition. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re so welcome! Thanks for letting me know how it turned out! I love the feedback! 🙂
Hi, I was wondering if this can be made in the instant pot? I only have a 7 inch push pan.
I have no doubt that it could, but I have not personally tested it out. I have an IP Banana Bread recipe under ‘Because Breakfast’. So, I would test it with the longer time for the round pan, and go from there. 🙂
Thanks so much!
You’re welcome!
