Ingredients for Biscoff Banana Bread
- 2 overripe bananas
- 1 cup milk (regular or plant-based)
- 1 cup maple syrup (or use ½ cup for a less sweet flavor)
- ¼ cup melted butter (regular or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free)
- 1 cup chopped Biscoff cookies (see FAQs for gluten-free)
Biscoff Banana Bread Icing
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon melted butter (regular or plant-based)
- 2 oz cream cheese (regular or plant-based)
Instructions for Biscoff Banana Bread
Step 1 - Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a metal loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with non-stick baking spray.
Step 2 - Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, mash the overripe bananas with a fork. Add the milk, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix well. Gradually add the flour and stir until a batter forms.
Step 3 - Add Biscoff Cookies: Crush the Biscoff cookies or chop them with a knife, ensuring there are still large chunks. Sprinkle the cookie crumbles into the batter and gently fold them in.
Step 4 - Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the Biscoff banana bread is golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5 - Make the Icing: While the bread is baking, prepare the cream cheese icing by using an electric hand mixer to combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream cheese until smooth.
Step 6 - Drizzle and Serve: Once the Biscoff Banana Bread is done baking, allow it to cool for a few minutes before drizzling the cream cheese icing over the top. Enjoy your delicious treat!
