This cookie butter banana bread has been a long time coming, but was worth the wait. A warning: be prepared to go full-on Cookie Monster on this bread once you get a waft of it.
What is this? Two banana-based recipes in a row?? Surely a food blogger wouldn’t allow this redundancy! Except that one involves pie and the other (hint: this one) involves cookie butter so I think we can all agree: Mmmk, yeah, two banana recipes in a row is totally fine! Maybe even three or four if you make my chocolate chip banana bread or chocolate banana bread recipe next!
This recipe has been a thought bubble in my head for a really long period of time.
If you’ve never tried cookie butter before, we can’t be friends. We can totally be friends — but I will introduce you to cookie butter. It tastes just like those Biscoff cookies of magical, miraculous, heavenly deliciousness you get on airplanes but it’s spreadable and spoonable and quite honestly one of the best things about life as we know it. If that’s not enough of a ringing endorsement for you to get thee to the grocery store and pick up a jar or 5,000, I don’t know what is. Except that it tastes even better in banana bread.
As any good banana bread should be, this loaf is dense, soft and full of flavor. The banana and cookie butter flavors both come through in every sweet, yummy bite and, like a fine wine or cheese, it tastes better with age. So I suggest baking a few loaves — one for the freezer, one for the kitchen counter and one for your immediate gobbling needs. And there will be immediate gobbling needs.

Cookie Butter Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 medium bananas, very ripe
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup creamy cookie butter, sometimes called Biscoff Spread, or Speculoos Cookie Butter at Trader Joe’s
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees F if using a dark or nonstick pan). Grease and flour the bottom and sides of an 8 ½-by-4 ½-inch OR 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together flour, baking soda and salt until combined. In a separate large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add sugars, cookie butter, milk, oil, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until combined and mostly smooth.
- Pour banana mixture into flour mixture; stir until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan; smooth top with a spatula.
- Bake 1 hour 15 minutes until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent with foil during baking if the top of the loaf is browning too quickly.
- Cool bread 10 minutes in pan, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.

This looks like one of those bread recipes that you keep telling yourself that your are ONLY going to have one more slice——repeatedly. I love the honey color of it.
Eating spoonfuls of cookie butter has been known to cure all sorts of things. This bread looks amazing!
But how did you manage to NOT eat it?? As a cookie butter addict, I just can’t understand. 😛
This sounds absolutely amazing!! I love banana bread, and the cinnamony cookie butter is probably phenomenal in there. Love!
How delicious! that’s terrible that you made this and then couldn’t even taste it. So sad!
Ok, I just tried cookie butter for the first time like a month ago! Obviously I fell in love with it. What a creative use of it Stephanie!
I love a good banana bread and this would be so delicious with the flavor (and smell) of cookie butter! That’s a great way to make banana bread even more addictive. 🙂
