Tis the season!   And while there is no escaping the whirlwind of shopping and decorating and wrapping and yes, cooking, it’s even more important to grab those little moments that the holidays are here to celebrate.

Decorating the Christmas tree with those finally home for a little while college kids.  Watching Love Actually for the millionth time with your honey.

Taking a nap with your dog in your fleece Grinch pajamas.  And sharing a little sweet something with friends you don’t get to see NEARLY enough.

Something like this sweet and spicy coffee walnut banana bread!

And it’s even sweeter when you share it with someone you love who shows up for a spur of the moment visit.

We have a long rocky history of baking, this girl and I.

The apple pie we made when we were about 11 years old has gone down in family history.  There was even a song written about it.  (By us.)

Hey, who knew you were supposed to take the core out of the apples before you baked them into a pie?

So here’s a perfect treat to surprise someone dear in your life with: a rich and aromatic banana bread laced with just a teeny hint of coffee, studded with nuts and full of that perfect banana taste.

Eat the first piece warm with a cup of tea, and then make it into French toast, tear pieces of it into chunks for bread pudding, toast it up and spread it with banana jam…and go give that friend who knows you from Way Back When a call.

That’s a holiday gift like no other!

    I’ve never thought about adding coffee in my banana bread before. What a great idea! I can’t wait to try this with the bananas in my freezer.

    This has become my go to recipe. The coffee rounds out the sweetness perfectly. Easy to make and freezes well too. Highly recommended.

    I adore this recipe! It’s the. Best one like it I’ve found as I prefer my banana bread less greasy and moist but not falling apart. I used about 2/3 of the fat in the recipe and I also substituted half of the butter for vegan butter to keep the cholesterol down a teeny bit. It was still delicious and a great texture. I eat it without frills all on it’s own (I do share)! No need to guild the Lilly 😋
