banana bread with chia seeds, walnuts and cashews

In the last few weeks, things have been a bit busy — but in a very positive way. We were on the road a lot: wellness at Achensee, we traveled to the Europapark with the children and had a lot of fun despite school and work stress. This is also the reason why  we haven’t planned anything special for the Easter weekend. We’ll stay at home and enjoy a few days off together without an agenda. We’ll go for a walk in the sunshile, read until the early hours and cook together. One of the things that is certainly on our cooking and baking list is our all-time favorite: banana bread with chia seeds, walnuts and cashews.

This cake is really easy to make and tastes so juicy and good that it is usually eaten within two hours. Basically, I could bake it by the metre – this is how quickly it’s gone. You can vary it as you like and add other nuts or chopped dates. We love it exactly as it is described in the recipe — it is the perfect mix of juicy dough and firm walnuts and cashews.

To be very honest: I don’t really like bananas, but I really love this cake. You definitely need to try it!
