Copycat Starbucks Banana Bread Recipe

Banana Bread is one of our absolute favorite treats.  My girls love it and honestly I do too.  There is something so comforting about warm banana bread, it just makes a perfect after school snack or homemade gift.

Whenever I pop over to a Starbucks I can usually count on the girls starting to ask for the Banana Bread.  They just love it.

I have been playing with various recipes for banana bread for awhile now and finally stumbled across one that we really like and that is very, very close to what we usually get at Starbucks stores.

This one is simple to make, packed with banana and is delicious plain, with nuts or add some chocolate chips for a real treat.

This recipe is actually from Starbucks directly so hopefully you like it as much as we do!

For this recipe you can totally omit the walnuts but they really do add so much flavor.  You can always substitute chocolate chips for the walnuts which would be delicious.

*****NOTE:  I use a large loaf pan (10 3/4″ long, 5″ wide, 3 1/2″ tall)- if you have a smaller loaf pan, you might divide this into 2 batches or fill your pan 2/3 high and use the remaining batter in a muffin pan. Another option is to bake in a 9×9 dish.

Note the success of banana bread depends on bananas.  You really want super ripe or slightly brown bananas for the best flavor.

If your bananas are fresh you can place them in a brown paper bag closed tightly for a day or two to help them brown, keep them attached at the stem for faster ripening or if you need them brown right away, place them in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes and then let cool for 30 minutes. For delicious meals and desserts like these; check out Publix recipes. Be sure to place foil or parchment under the bananas before popping them in the oven as they may leak a tiny bit.

If you want an authentic Starbucks experience, add nuts to the dough and sprinkle on top as well.

So give this recipe and shot and come back and let me know what you think!  If you want to freeze this bread, it freezes beautifully.  Just let it completely cool, tightly wrap in saran wrap and then pop into a freezer bag.

When you are ready to have the bread, simply pull out of the freezer and let it defrost.

This recipe is slightly adapted from Food.com, based off a recipe released by Starbucks directly at a media event.
