Starbucks Banana Bread Recipe



Here's a recipe for Starbucks-style banana bread that you can try at home:

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

4. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

5. Stir in the mashed bananas, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. If using, fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

10. Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Enjoy your homemade Starbucks-style banana bread! You can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days, or freeze for longer storage.
