Walnut banana bread

Walnut banana bread is the BEST banana recipe. It is vegan, delicious, topped with walnuts and lingonberries, and is sure to be a new favorite!

Last time I was at Ikea I ate vegan walnut banana bread that was delicious. Therefore I wanted to recreate this banana bread.
To be clear, this is not a copycat, just inspired by Ikeas bread. Important to emphasize this so you don't expect it to taste exactly like Ikeas and get disappointed.

When you are craving something sweet but still want it to be healthy(-ish), this bread is what you are looking for. It´s not too sweet, but enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

But don't take my word for it. Instead, try it and let me know what you think.

Does banana bread need to be refrigerated?

You don't have to refrigerate banana bread, but you should keep it in a plastic wrap or an airtight container to keep it from drying out.

However, if you want to extend the life of your walnut banana bread, it should be stored in an airtight container for up to about a week in a refrigerator.

How to tell when your bread is done?

I like to use the toothpick method to determine if the banana bread is done. Also this works for other cakes and baked goods.

Stick the toothpick in the middle of your bread. If there's a wet batter on the toothpick, it needs more time in the oven. If it comes out clean, your banana bread is done.
