About Us

Nestled in the heart of Monroe Township, New Jersey, The Banana Nut LLC stands as a testament to the passion and dedication of its creator, Joe Amaral. As the proprietor of this charming online establishment, Joe's love for baking and cooking has blossomed into a thriving business that delights customers with its delectable offerings. 

From an early age, Joe's culinary talents were evident, and his journey as a baker took shape with his scrumptious banana bread variations. The rave reviews and compliments he received from family, friends, and colleagues ignited a spark within him, propelling him to share his creations with a wider audience. With the unwavering support of his wife, Melanie, Joe finally took the leap and transformed his dream into reality.

Currently operating as a New Jersey cottage food producer, The Banana Nut follows all the necessary guidelines and regulations, ensuring the highest standards of quality. Taking pride in their artisanal approach, they craft each batch of banana bread with love and care in a home kitchen that may not have been inspected by the Department of Health, but is meticulously maintained. 

The vision for The Banana Nut is simple and extends beyond the boundaries of Monroe Township. With ambition in their hearts and a dedication to their craft, Joe and Melanie aspire to bring their mouthwatering delights to customers across the United States and possibly around the globe. Until that dream becomes a reality, we invite the local and neighboring communities in New Jersey to savor and promote the delicious breads that have become synonymous with The Banana Nut.

Each bite is a symphony of flavors, blending the subtle sweetness of ripe bananas with the comforting warmth of freshly baked bread. Whether it's the classic banana nut, the rich and decadent chocolate banana, or the exotic twist of the Melanie's Special coconut banana bread, every loaf tells a unique story.
