Starbucks is a super popular coffee shop, pretty sure there's one or two in every neighborhood. Of course, what goes great with a latte? Well, banana bread of course, and their banana bread is delicious! So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I came across this recipe.
I am such a sucker for some warm banana bread. Apparently so is my Father-in-law because he can't get enough of this banana bread. I seriously make him a loaf or two every week.
Recipe Tips
- The batter will super thick and that is normal.
- If you don't like nuts or are allergic just leave them out.
- You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar to 1/2 cup of whole milk and let it sit for 10 minutes, mix and then use accordingly.
- I bake it in an 8x4 loaf pan you can use a 9x5 loaf pan but you'll need to watch the baking time.

Can I freeze ripe bananas?
Absolutely! Once the bananas start to get those brown freckles, It's time to bake with them. If your bananas are ripe and ready but you're not ready to bake, just put the whole banana, in a ziplock freezer bag. Then when you're ready to use them just defrost them in the refrigerator overnight or in the microwave on defrost and your good to go! They will be mushy once they have been frozen and that's normal.
Can I freeze banana bread?
Yes, Cool completely. Tightly wrap the loaf in plastic wrap. Then wrap them in aluminum foil or place them in a large ziplock freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3-4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or room temperature.
How long will it last?
Store in an airtight container on the counter for 2-3 days or in the refrigerator for 5-6 days.

It's about 1 1/2 cups but a little more or a little less is fine.
What would the measurement of bananas be? The sizes are so varied.
A couple of things can cause that, not placing the loaf pan on the center oven rack or your oven doesn't run as hot. You can always send me a message and I can get more info to help you troubleshoot.
So glad I found this recipe, it's become a family favorite! I do have a little issue with the center taking longer to bake. It's happened both times I've made it. The first time I thought maybe the bananas I used were too big or the fact that I used a 9x5in loaf pan were the issue, but I guess not. It still tastes amazing, but I have to tent the top with foil and add more baking time. It's resulted in a more browned top than I'd like, almost close to burning.
Hoping I can figure out what the issue is. In any case, thank you for the recipe!!
Fantastic Shelby, its one of our favs too 🙂
Absolutely the most moist thing I’ve ever eaten! The flavor 10/10! Texture was soft and hard in all the right places. Would absolutely love to get into it again! Finished in like 15 minutes that’s how good it was!
