Oil Soluble Banana

This Starbucks-inspired Banana Nut Bread combines ripe mashed bananas, warm spices, and the bold flavor of Oil-Soluble Banana Extract to create a tender, aromatic loaf. You’ll mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, combine them gently, fold in walnuts, then bake until golden brown and fragrant. The extract enhances the banana taste while keeping the loaf moist and flavorful for days—perfect for breakfast, dessert, or gifting.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 tsp oil-soluble banana extract (for enhanced banana flavor)
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup chopped walnuts (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

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

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add eggs, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and oil-soluble banana extract; whisk until smooth.

  4. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir in sour cream (or yogurt) and fold until just combined—do not overmix.

  5. Fold in chopped walnuts, reserving a few for topping.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle extra walnuts on top for a bakery-style finish.

  7. Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
