Ingredients
  

  • For the Banana Bread:
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter unsalted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon optional
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or regular, chopped
  • 2 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cookie Dough:
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add vanilla extract and milk, mixing until incorporated.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until combined.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set the cookie dough aside to firm up in the fridge while you prepare the banana bread batter.
  • Make the Banana Bread Batter:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan (8x4 or 9x5).
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the melted butter and mix well.
  • Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Assemble the Bread:
  • Scoop spoonfuls of the cookie dough and gently fold them into the banana bread batter, leaving some small chunks of cookie dough visible. Be careful not to over-mix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake the Banana Bread:
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (with a few crumbs). If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Cookie Dough Adjustments: You can freeze some of the cookie dough to enjoy as cookie dough bites later!
  • Banana Bread Variations: Add nuts, like walnuts or pecans, to the bread for extra texture and flavor.
  • Make-Ahead Tips: The banana bread can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
