This delicious and super, dare I say it…moist, banana bread is the perfect breakfast or snacking bread. Filled with lots of banana, cookie butter, and chocolate chips, your house will smell so divine as it bakes!

This recipe is my PoPo’s banana bread recipe, which is already amazing, but with the addition of cookie butter and chocolate chips. Que the choir, it’s so good! You can definitely use the original recipe for banana bread, just omit the cookie butter and chocolate chip steps. Or you could even amp it up with nuts - my PoPo used macadamia nuts. YUM!
