Cookie Butter Banana Bread

Do you like cookie butter? How about banana bread? Well...I happen to love both so I figured this would be a great way to mix the two. If I'd had some Biscoff cookies I would have crumbled them into the batter....but alas...I did not. But YOU should remember that when it comes time for you to make this yummy bread. And you should make it soon...just sayin'.

Cookie Butter Banana Bread



1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup Cookie Butter or Biscoff Spread (found in the peanut butter aisle)
2 eggs
1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ripe bananas ~ mashed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x9 loaf pan with cooking spray. (I line the bottom of mine with parchment paper to help ensure easy release.)

In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar and cookie butter.

Add the eggs.

Add the mashed bananas.

Gently add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake 45 - 50 minutes until light golden brown and center is done.

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes the remove bread from pan and cool completely.

 
The line up!

 
Mix together the sugar, shortening 
and cookie butter until smooth.

 
Then add the eggs.

 
Then mashed bananas.

 
Then the dry ingredients.

 
Pour batter into a well greased 
bread pan and bake. Allow to 
cool completely.

 
Slice and eat! This is so good with 
a little....okay..a LOT of butter spread on it!
