STARBUCKS banana walnut bread

Both my kids and I love this treat at the BUX, but it gets spendy when we all want a piece. Starbucks offered out this recipe so we can make it at home!

2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 1/8 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp. buttermilk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas (mashed)
1/2 + 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

preheat oven to 325 degrees. grease a loaf pan and dust with flour.

blend together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. in seperate bowl, mix together the egg, sugar and vegetable oil until combined. add flour mix and when blended add the buttermilk, vanilla and mashed bananas and mix until combined.

fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and pour batter into prepared loaf pan. top batter with remaining 1/3 cup of chopped walnuts.

bake for 45-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pan.
