Starbucks Banana Nut Bread

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are mostly smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of mashed bananas.

Add the softened butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.

Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is uniform.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove from the oven and let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
