    Starbucks Banana Nut Bread

    A warm slice of bread full of banana, walnuts and pecans; straight from Starbucks to your table. Are you ready to bake this one for breakfast or quick snack?

    Who does not like the Banana and Nut bread at Starbucks? The thick slice of warm bread that is full of banana, walnuts and spices? If this is on your list of favorites, this recipe has you covered! 

    Video Recipe

    I tried a couple of banana bread recipes in the past, but THIS one is just like the one from Starbucks! With the aroma of spices, crunch from the nuts and moisture from bananas, this recipe is MY favorite. 

    And so I HAD to share it here! This recipe is addictive, yet super easy to make I promise. 

    With exactly TWELVE ingredients, 10 minutes to put together; this recipe has just one challenge; waiting for an hour for the bread to bake slowly to get all the flavors together! 

    This bread is now my favorite and I make so often. This bread is the reason I keep all the bananas out to ripen. Such a treat to enjoy a slice of this bake slathered  with butter and a cup of coffee or tea for breakfast. 

    This recipe is good for one loaf. But if you take my word, you need to double the recipe and make two loaves at a time. They disappear in no time if your family likes bananas. 

    Honestly, I believe bananas were made with the intent if them going in a rich loaf! This bread is one the most amazing nut and fruit combination and should be made more than once a month. 

    Breakfast can be sorted for days with these two loaves. Plus, with summer just around the corner, this bread makes a great picnic treat. Take along the loaf and some butter; it makes a mess free treat for kids and adults alike. 

    I sometimes add some chocolate chips to make it kids favorites; but this version with just nuts is a winner too. 

    So look no further and make sure you make a batch right away! If you have to wait for the bananas to ripen, do that NOW! Because the bread does require the bananas to be perfectly ripe and soft.

    What you need to make this bread?

    This recipe needs only a few pantry essentials. Flour, sugar, baking soda, a tad bit of salt and some nuts. That is all you need from your pantry.

    Three-four SUPER ripe bananas are used here. The sweeter the bananas, the lesser the sugar required! So wait an extra day if you need but use ripe bananas. 

    Eggs, milk and vanilla extract play their roles in this recipe. I would not recommend skipping any of them here! 

    For the nuts, I used pecans and walnuts. You can choose the ones you like and use them. All nuts are great in the bread. 

    You can also add chocolate chips  to the bread if you like them. They do make the bread a tad bit sweeter so adjust the sugar accordingly. 

    Can this bread be made eggless?

    This version of the bread contains eggs. However, to replace the egg just whisk together 1 tablespoon flax seed powder with 3 tablespoon water. Let it stand for a while and add it to the batter. This works great in all bakes. 

    Love bananas? Try one of these recipes:

    • Banana Chocolate Bread
    • Date Sweetened Banana Bread
    • Whole Wheat Banana Walnut Bread
    • Eggless Whole Wheat Banana Chocolate Muffins

    Making breakfast muffins with this recipe

    I made the bread in a rectangular pan. However, making single serve bread bites in a muffin pan is a great idea too. 

    The result is single serve breads that make a great way to serve it for parties. Or make the same bread in a round pan. The shape does not really matter!
