    Ingredients You Need for Healthy Starbuck's Banana Bread

    • all-purpose flour, or use 1 cup all purpose + ½ cup whole white wheat flour for healthier option.
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • egg
    • sugar or sugar-free option like Lakanto's Monkfruit baking sugar
    • canola oil or vegetable oil or for sugar-free option, you can use unsweetened applesauce
    • milk of choice or buttermilk
    • vanilla extract
    • 3 bananas mashed very well
    • chopped walnuts, optional

    How to Make Healthy Starbuck's Banana Bread

    1. Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan and dust with flour or line with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
    3. Mix the egg, sugar, and oil/applesauce until combined.
    4. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix together. Mixture will be thick. Add the milk, vanilla, and mashed bananas and mix well, without overmixing your batter too much.
    5. Fold ½ cup of chopped walnuts and pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
    6. Top the batter with remaining ⅓ cup of walnuts.
    7. Bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Some Tips for your Banana Nut Bread!

    • Can also be baked in an 8x4 loaf pan, but bake longer, 70 - 95 minutes.
    • Add 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the batter for more spiced flavor!
    • Chocolate chips are always acceptable, for the banana and chocolate lovers!
    • Leave out the walnuts or replace with pecans, or no nuts at all!
    • For the oil, use oils like avocado, canola or vegetable oil for best results.

    Starbuck's Banana Bread

    Healthier Options!

    • Sugar-free & Calorie Option:  Replace granulated sugar with your favorite Erythritol or Lakanto's Monkfruit Baking Sugar.
    • Lower calorie:  Use applesauce to replace the oil.  
    • Healthier: Use ½ all purpose flour & ½ whole white wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

    Storing & Freezing Options!

    • For Storing:  Place in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.
    • For Freezing:  Tightly wrap the loaf in plastic wrap. Then wrap them in aluminum foil or in a large ziplock freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3-4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or room temperature.

      I LOVE the banana bread at Starbucks, so this copycat recipe is just perfect! And I love how it's freezer friendly, too!

      I haven't been in Starbucks forever, but I'm quite positive this Banana bread looks so much better than their own. (Those few times I got Banana bread, the texture wasn't great - too heavy and too most, almost soggy.) The texture here is just perfect - light and fluffy yet moist enough. Delicious!
