More About This Recipe

  • Looking for a fabulous new take on banana bread? Banana Cinnamon Chip Bread is a rich, delicious, moist loaf perfect for anytime.

    Everyone has a recipe for banana bread … or 20. There are so many variations and flavors and varieties. I know people who admittedly never make the same banana bread recipe twice, because they are searching for the perfect recipe. And they make banana bread often.

    Now, I am not sure if a perfect banana bread recipe exists, but I am all for new and fabulous takes on this classic.

    This Banana Cinnamon Chip Bread is fabulous, for sure. It has little pockets of cinnamon dotted throughout the fabulous, moist banana-y bread.

    And as far as bread-baking goes, making banana bread is pretty simple. You mix the ingredients (it’s like making cookie dough, really), then pour it into a pan and bake. Prep is 10 minutes max and after that, it’s all hands off.

    Finally, a note on cinnamon chips.  If you haven’t tried them before, you should. They add a nice kick to recipes. Find them in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips.

    So, do you have a banana bread favorite? Dish in the comments!
