....oh my! This bread has all the good stuff we need in our diet, so I declare it health food. It does store well in the fridge or freezer, so make it ahead for the holidays. Spread with a little cream cheese for breakfast or lunch. Yummy!

I love these types of tea loaves. I've not had this combo before, but I bet it tastes just great with the bananas and carrots together. Plus, the moment you mentioned cream cheese as a topping spread ... well, I'm ready for a slice!
Hi Paula
The food critic loved this bread, in fact I don't believe he wants to share :)
Both bananas and carrots! It sounds good! I like all of the nuts on top.
Kevin, the nuts and brown sugar topping add that little extra crunch :)
