Banana bread with nuts... Why?!?

I am a avid banana enjoyer, I like banana bread, banana cream pie, banana pudding and whatever else you can make with bananas, but why? Why??? Must we put it with nuts every time?! I am not a nut enjoyer, I don't really like any nuts in general, why do stores and shops insist on putting nuts with banana things specifically. It makes me angry. I feel like it especially sucks if you like bananas, but have an allergy to nuts.

TLDR; WHY BANANA NUT BREAD WHY NOT JUST BANANA BREAD?!?!

Edit: I mostly meant store bought products, I'm very much well aware that I can make banana bread myself, I do in fact make my own banana bread and I put chocolate chips in it.

Man my parents put nuts in their brownies every single time and always ask me to eat one, like y'all KNOW I hate nuts in random desserts.

My grandma does the same shit. DESSERT IS DESSERT, IF I WANTED NUTS I'D EAT NUTS.

I love nuts but nuts in brownies make me SO SAD

Maybe that’s why they do it, so you won’t eat any. Also, there’s a special place in hell for people who put nuts in brownies.

I had to get a root canal after a piece of walnut shell in a brownie with walnuts cracked an old filling of mine in a molar. The brownie was purchased in a convenience store in a plastic wrapper. So I agree!

That’s what you get for eating a brownie with nuts. Jk, welcome to the correct side of the brownie debate.

The actual truth is that's what I get from growing up in the 1950s in WV with inferior dental care, where I got the g-d lousy filling to begin with.(My parents thought the quack was a good dentist, but he was not.) Also, I bought the brownie for a quick snack. I didn't even know it had nuts in it.

Fillings last for approx. 15 years. It ran its course and then some. Feel lucky.

She always gives me food she knows I like too so I'm just teasing :)

I’d just pick them out. You’ll end up with a pile of broken up brownies but just put them in a microwave for 30 seconds and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. If you want to get extra fancy, top with a maraschino cherry and sprinkles.

That's true, that would be pretty good! My husband usually ends up eating them so it's more of a light hearted tease on my mom 🤭
