7. Way less sugar than Store bought: Factory-made banana breads typically contains a significant amount of sugar, around 7-20 tsp of sugar per serving. For example, Starbucks Banana Loaf has 28 grams of sugar (7 tsp of sugar). This added sugar comes from ingredients like white sugar, brown sugar, or high-fructose corn syrup, which are commonly used in commercially baked goods to enhance flavor and extend shelf life.
