Step By Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
Step 4: Combine Everything
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5: Add the Biscoff
Fold half of the crushed Biscoff cookies into the batter. Swirl in the cookie butter using a knife for ribbons of flavor.
Step 6: Fill the Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining crushed cookies over the top and drizzle with extra Biscoff spread if desired.
Step 7: Bake
Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Serve
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy.
Variations To Try
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Mix in white chocolate chips.
- Use dark chocolate chunks for extra richness.
- Add a swirl of Nutella with the Biscoff spread.
- Sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for a crunchy crust.
- Make muffins instead of a loaf by reducing the baking time to about 20–25 minutes.
Freezing Or Restoring
This banana bread freezes exceptionally well. Wrap individual slices or the entire loaf tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Warm slices in the microwave for about 20 seconds to restore their soft texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Recipe Notes
- The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the loaf soft.
- Slightly warm the Biscoff spread for easier swirling.
- Cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
