Banana Bread with Crunchy Toasted Walnut Recipe

Walnuts, also known as Akhrot, provide essential nutrients to the body and offer multiple science-backed health benefits. These nuts are nutrient-dense, rich in omega-3 fatty, are known to contain a high amount of antioxidants, and are an excellent source of protein and fiber. 

It is said that there are over fifty species of walnut trees, but the most common varieties are the English walnut and California black walnut. Akhrots can be consumed as they are after shelling or can be incorporated with other recipes. While they are known for the health benefits they offer, walnuts are an incredible dessert ingredient and are perfect for snacking. If you are looking for a tasty and healthy walnut recipe you should definitely try this banana bread with crunchy toasted walnut.
