This Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Bread turns one of your favorite nostalgic recipes and takes it from delicious to out of control incredible! Add it to school lunch for a fun treat, or make some with your kids after school to snack on while doing homework.
One of the first recipes I ever learned to make was a classic banana bread. To this day when I want to bring something to a sick friend, a mom with a new baby or someone I love, banana bread is always top of mind. On occasion I will add walnuts or chocolate chips to jazz it up a bit, but when I really want to take it to the next level I break up a batch of chocolate chip cookies into the batter for the ultimate surprise in every bite!
I usually keep a big batch of baked chocolate chip cookies labeled in zipper bags in the freezer, so I don’t have to make two full recipes from scratch for this Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. You could also go off the beaten path and try Oatmeal Raisin or Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie. Top it with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, coconut whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and watch out as you blow everyone’s mind!
I gave a little twist to my favorite banana bread recipe my kids go bonkers for by adding white whole wheat flour for a little more nutrition. Pro tip: make sure to use ripe or spotty bananas as they make the Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Bread super soft and moist. But just wait! When you take a bite you’re going to lose your mind. A bite of banana bread and a piece of a chocolate chip cookie is pure heaven.
