Just when you thought you had enough banana bread recipes, here's a new and interesting version: a roasted walnut oil banana bread from La Tourangelle. In addition to the rich and nutty flavor of the roasted walnut oil, the banana bread calls for ground flax, a mixture of white and whole wheat flour, and maple syrup in place of sugar.

I suppose it falls into the relatively healthier category of banana breads. It's not as rich and dense as the stalwart Betty Crocker recipe, but slightly crumblier and with a different palette of flavors. In my opinion it could have used a fourth banana, but the family liked it with three.

La Tourangelle Roasted Walnut Oil

As for the roasted walnut oil, I first tried it years ago when making a yeasted walnut bread. I also used it in vinaigrette and a few different cookie recipes, but I really didn't take advantage of all its uses before the tin of oil was gone. It's always been kind of a luxury ingredient around here, but with its health properties, flavor and versatility, I should buy it more often. If you have any great uses for walnut oil (or any other fancy oils), let me know.

    Sonya, thanks for the recipes! I'll delete the one without the walnut oil.

    I've been using the recipe on the can of walnut oil which is just a mixture of walnut oil, Dijon mustard, balsamic, salt and pepper. It's great tossed with spring mix.

    Ok, I feel like a dork - just realized that the middle recipe doesn't have walnut oil in it - sorry!

    And last one! BTW, I think that you can never have too many variations on banana bread - I've loved every loaf I've ever eaten - lol. I have three favorite recipes at the moment - Orange-Spice Banana Bread (ATK Family Cookbook), Banana Walnut Bread (the Mixer Bible), and Ultimate Banana Bread (Cook's Illustrated).

    I love this - healthier and tastes great. My daughter has decided that a conventional lunch doesn't cut it, so being able to offer her a heart-healthy, fibre rich food, with no refined sugar banana bread is a wonderful alternative. Thank you!
