Cozy, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet—this Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread is everything you love with a wholesome twist.
Have you ever woken up from a dream craving something so specific, it practically pulls you into the kitchen? That was me the other morning—dreaming about a rich, dense, nutty banana bread. And let me tell you, this Oatmeal Banana Nut Bread delivered.
Made with pantry staples, sweet ripe bananas, hearty oats, and crunchy walnuts, this is the kind of recipe you’ll want to save on repeat. It’s not overly sweet, has great texture, and tastes even better the next day—especially warmed up with a cup of coffee or tea.
Let’s be real: there’s nothing worse than slicing into banana bread and finding an undercooked, gooey center. That’s why I often bake mine in an 9×9-inch square baking pan or a pan for brows which is long rectangular pan, but any brownie pan would work.
It cooks more evenly, rises just enough, and makes neat little squares you can snack on or pack into lunch boxes.

One of my favorite recipes last summer was this Southwestern Inspired Guacamole, and it quickly became a hit. When I shared a reel on Instagram and Facebook, the feedback was amazing—people especially loved it on Facebook!
This recipe has a fun backstory. My daughter, Anna, and I stumbled upon a Southwestern guacamole at Aldi while shopping for snacks for our movie night. One bite, and we were hooked!
But as someone who loves creating in the kitchen, I couldn’t resist trying to make it myself.
After reading the ingredients list, I got inspired. I firmly believe every recipe has room for improvement.
While some recipes take a bit of trial and error to perfect, this one came together beautifully from the start.
Now, six months later, it’s still a family favorite. We make it at least once every couple of weeks. To be honest, I am grateful that we can find most produce like tomatoes and avocados all year long.
This guacamole is incredibly versatile. We enjoy it as a topping on fresh salads, stuffed into chicken wraps with plenty of grilled chicken and crisp lettuce, or simply as a dip with tortilla chips.
I said this is for 4 people, but between you and me, I can finish this whole bowl. I love this dip so much and I hope you do too.
