Today I am going to share with you the recipe for Papaya Banana Bread. This is a delicious breakfast treat and a great alternative to the more traditional banana bread recipes that you can find on my site.

Besides adding a scrumptious tropical flavour, papaya also makes this bread ultra soft and moist. I love the toasted macadamias that add a slightly nutty flavour and the perfect crunch to this bread. Slice it and serve it with a hot cup of tea or a glass of milk.
This is a very Australian recipe, as the northern areas are renowned for their bananas, papayas, macadamias, and brown sugar! And it is also naturally dairy-free. Give it a go and let me know how you like it in the comment section below.
