Copycat Starbucks Banana Bread 

This Copycat Starbucks Banana Bread recipe delivers a moist, flavorful loaf reminiscent of the beloved coffeehouse treat. With ripe bananas, a hint of cinnamon, and optional walnuts, it's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.

 Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 large egg

• 1⅛ cups granulated sugar

• ½ cup vegetable oil

• 2 tablespoons buttermilk (or milk)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

 Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and dust it with flour.

2. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.

5. Add Bananas and Nuts:
   Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

6. Bake:
   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool:
   Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
