This Cookies and Cream Banana Bread combines the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with the indulgent crunch of gluten-free sandwich cookies and dark chocolate chips. Moist, flavorful, and easy to make, this loaf is perfect for a comforting breakfast or a delicious snack.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup ripe mashed bananas
  • ⅓ cup butter (browned or melted)
  • 1 egg
  • ¾ cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups gluten free flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped gluten free sandwich cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the banana bread.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas. Incorporate the browned or melted butter, egg, pure maple syrup (or honey), milk, and vanilla extract. Stir together thoroughly to form a smooth base.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the gluten free flour and baking soda. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  4. Fold in Mix-ins: Fold in the dark chocolate chips and half of the chopped gluten free sandwich cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Pour and Top Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the lined loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle the remaining chopped sandwich cookies on top to add a crunchy, decorative finish.
  6. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the bread has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool fully in the pan before slicing. This helps the loaf set properly for clean slices and optimal flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Gluten free flour blend should be suitable for baking; check for a blend that includes xanthan gum or add it separately if needed.
  • You can substitute maple syrup with honey for a different natural sweetener option.
  • Browned butter adds a nutty depth, but melted butter works perfectly too.
  • Ensure the sandwich cookies are gluten free if required for dietary needs.
  • Cool the bread completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
