Do Banana's and Walnuts go together?

Bananas and walnuts complement each other well due to the creamy sweetness of bananas balancing the rich, earthy crunch of walnuts. This combination provides a satisfying blend of flavors and textures, enhancing the enjoyment of dishes like banana bread or salads.
