I do love banana bread as the numerous recipes will prove but still, I crave more – as do my family. It is our choice of cake when it comes to celebrations and Sunday treats as it is not too sweet but has a wonderful cakey and moist crumb. I had been eyeing up some Biscoff cookie spread for a while before I finally took the plunge and baked it into a cake.

This recipe for Biscoff Cookie Banana Bread is similar to my Ultimate Banana Bread and the base is mashed banana, chia seeds, milk, oil, syrup with some flour and raising agent. This recipe differs as I add extra cookie flavour in the form of almond essence and the hidden Biscoff cookie butter filling – which is truly magical. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it works really well in this cake without overpowering the lovely almond and banana flavours in the loaf.

The second biscuit element in this Biscoff Cookie Banana Bread is the broken up Biscoff Lotus biscuits on top – they add such a great crunch and texture on top. Biscuit and cake in one bite, now that is something special. I use the classic Biscoff brand of biscuit and cookie spread but I am sure there are others available although I haven’t tried these.

To differ from the other cakes that I’ve posted about, for this Biscoff Cookie Banana Bread I decided to make two mini loaves. That way, the loaves stay as fresh as possible – although they do not last long around here for freshness to be a problem! If you want to make one larger loaf instead, simply adjust the baking times as described below. Either way, this mixture is bound to impress, and it couldn’t be simpler to make. All the ingredients come together in less than 10 minutes, in one bowl and without much laborious work at all. The magic is in the oven.

This Biscoff Cookie Banana Bread is a new favourite bake although I am trying to keep it for special occasions as it does feel a little bit special and extra-ordinary. The cake-like crumb, moist loaf and soft banana texture make it an ideal bake to serve for afternoon tea, or even enjoy this as part of a balanced breakfast spread with some more cookie butter or nut butter and fruit. It tastes indulgent enough to serve for dessert with ice cream and syrup… the possibilities are endless.

I hope you will love this Biscoff Cookie Banana Bread and if you are looking for more banana inspired bakes, how about my Ultimate Banana Bread, Chocolate and Cherry Banana Cake or Double Chocolate Banana Bread Brownies with Dark Chocolate Tahini Ganache.

    Hey Amy. Aww Biscoff is one of my favourite biscuits to enjoy with a cup of decaf tea or coffee for sure. Some cafes/restaurants serve on side biscoff. Lol since I have never seen them in the super markets I always keep the mini ones they give to you with your cuppa in cafes. So good to know that biscoff you can get from supermarkets I must try and see if I can get as I would love to make your recipe above. I enjoyed making your classic banana 🍌 bread for my first attendance at yours and Anna’s vegan pot luck event in London in Hyde park. Still am a beginner cook now but I was so happy thst all my baked banana bread actually all went. Maybe I a, not a bad cook after all? Super photography as always and so jealous that you have found biscoff spread- send me some I a, drooling. Where do you get your biscoff biscuits from In WGC. 🤗🌱💖😋💙xxxx So inspiring

    Hi, just wondering if it is plain white flour of self-raising flour that is used in this if we were just to use white flour? Looks amazing and i can’t wait to make it!! x

  10. Dana says:

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to do it without the chia seeds??? And also by substitution the almond essence with vanilla? And the coconut sugar with normal sugar??
    Thank you so much :))

    • Hi Dana, yes you can use vanilla essence and normal sugar instead. The chia seeds help to bind the mixture, you can use flaxseed instead or maybe use less milk but I haven’t tried it myself without chia/flax eggs! Enjoy it let me know how you get on.
