I am looking for the Banana Nut Tea Bread recipe from the old Chiquita Banana Recipe Booklet. Please help it was my Grandma's favorite recipe.
By Paula from Erie, PA
I went to the Chiquita site for this one:

1 cup Unprocessed wheat bran

1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup Unsalted butter, soft
2 whole Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
1 Tbsp. Honey
Cook Time (Minutes)
Min 75
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease loaf pan. Whip 2 Chiquita Bananas and sugars until mix is creamy (about 3 minutes). Add butter, eggs and vanilla and whip until smooth. Min in all dry ingredients until blended then add walnuts and blend for additional minute. Slice Chiquita Bananas and toss with honey until Chiquita Bananas are well coated. Pour mix in loaf pan and place honey coated bananas on top. Bake in oven for 60 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes then place plate on top of pan and flip pan upside down so loaf falls onto plate. Slice and garnish the loaf with your choice of fresh fruit, powder sugar, yogurt etc.
Hope this is the one you are looking for :)
