Cherry Vanilla Almond Bread
Cherry Vanilla Almond Bread
This is a very simple, straightforward recipe that has the same base as banana bread; just replacing the bananas with chopped cherries and sliced almonds. Adding in almond extract will help enhance the nutty flavor of the bread, making this a great morning snack; or any time of the day, for that matter.
