Description
This Cookie Butter Banana Bread takes classic banana bread to a whole new level. The rich, spiced flavor of creamy cookie butter (like Biscoff or Speculoos) perfectly complements the natural sweetness of ripe bananas, making every slice soft, moist, and irresistible. Great for breakfast, brunch, or as a cozy afternoon treat with coffee or tea.
