Coconut macadamia banana bread

October 5, 2017 by Petit Gourmet 4 Comments

Coconut Macadamia Banana breadThis is part of a sponsored collaboration with milk life and DiMe Media. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

This month we are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, and I am so glad I can share with you my grandmother’s recipe; a recipe that has been passed from generation to generation and is a family favorite! I used macadamia nuts, whole wheat flour and agave to make this healthier version of our traditional recipe. This recipe yields 1 loaf of delicious banana bread and should be served with a delicious glass of milk.

This recipe makes me happy because apart from being yummy it’s also nutritious and good for them. Not only does it pair perfectly with milk, but it has milk in it! Milk is a simple way to help give kids nutrients they need to be their best, and it’s delicious. Giving them milk is a choice I can always feel good about. Not to mention that an 8-ounce glass of milk has 8 grams of high-quality, natural protein, plus other essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. Add this with our banana bread and we have a winning combo.

Life can get busy and hectic and trying to live a healthier seems like hard work. It doesn’t have to be! A balanced diet including smart choices like milk, with its 9 essential nutrients, can help. Milk is the top food source of three out of the four nutrients of concern – the nutrients that Americans, including children, are most lacking – calcium, potassium and vitamin D.

    I totally hear you about milk, Gaila! Robbie is a bit of a picky eater, but he does love milk…so that’s one of our go-to’s for getting him the nutrients he needs. (Hopefully he expands his flavor profile as he grows, though!) Speaking of flavors, this bread sounds amazing. It sounds like a tropical treat, and I could totally be behind a slice of this for breakfast this morning! 🙂

    I love coconut and macadamia nuts! I don’t know why I’ve never thought about putting them in banana bread but I’m going to now! Can’t wait to make this and have a nice warm slice for breakfast 🙂
