I love moist and tasty banana bread! It is my ultimate favorite treat. My kids also love a loaf of good banana bread. Banana bread is also a great after-school snack or homemade gift. And I have the best banana bread recipe! This copycat recipe of Starbucks’ banana bread is a must-try and a keeper! Incredibly easy to make using just a few simple, readily available ingredients and ready in a snap.
My family loves Starbucks. Their banana bread is one of our most ordered from their menu. This copycat recipe guarantees the closest to Starbucks. Enjoy this banana bread, plain and even more delicious with nuts or chocolate chips. If you do not like walnuts, you can simply omit them. But I recommend adding walnuts as they add so much flavor to this banana bread. Or you can just substitute walnuts with chocolate chips.
