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 classic 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 cookies or a 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.
