    rose and honey banana bread with nut crumble topping

    Uncategorized

    This banana bread has so much flavour and the crumble top really makes it extra special.
    everyone really enjoyed it.
    I added honey, rosewater, cardamom and cinnamon to it then added chopped walnuts and pecans into the crumble top.

    I love banana bread its one of my favorites so its fun to play with the flavours.

    150g unsalted butter

      Banana bread is such a staple and it reminds me of Hawaii (tit seems here is a banana bread stand on every corner). I love that you added in the honey and rosewater. I'm dying to try this next time I whip up a loaf.
