Turmeric Banana Nut Bread

Turmeric is one of the TOP spices on the market. The benefits are endless so people are adding it to just about anything from smoothies, cooking, teas,  to name a few so why not add it to banana bread. This Turmeric Banana Nut Bread is a nice change from the normal banana bread.

Turmeric is a staple in Indian cuisine. The taste is described as an earthy-sweet gingery flavor. Some say a tad bitter. I add turmeric to everything. I love it for the anti-inflammatory anti-oxidant properties as well as to help prevent cancers, brain, heart and brain health.  I also take an Ukon Turmeric Supplement.

The daily dosage per person on average is 1200-1800 mg.
