Get the Recipe: Chocolate Cookie Dough Banana Bread
This chocolate cookie dough banana bread is rich, moist, and full of sweet banana flavor with a deep chocolate twist. Each slice has gooey chocolate chips and soft cookie dough chunks for the perfect mix of bread and cookie in one bite!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mashed bananas
- 1 egg
- ½ cup melted coconut oil, or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, or coconut sugar
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt, optional
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup cookie dough, see notes
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add mashed bananas, egg, melted coconut oil and vanilla. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Transfer half of the batter to the lined loaf pan. Spread into an even layer.
- Then take a mini cookie scoop or a spoon and add ½ inch balls of cookie dough.
- Spread the remaining bread batter on top. Smooth evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow bread to fully cool before slicing.
Notes
- You can use any cookie dough in this recipe. Even store bought works well.
- Feel free to replace melted coconut oil with olive oil or melted butter.
- Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.
- Both light brown sugar and coconut sugar work well. I actually prefer the version with coconut sugar.
- The banana bread batter will be somewhat thick.
- Do not bake too long. Once a toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs, remove from oven.
- Allow bread to fully cool before slicing.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
