Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (140g) Biscoff spread or Cookie Butter
- 2 overripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 7 tablespoons milk (any kind or nondairy)
- ½ teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8×4-inch or 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
- Cream oil, sugar, and Biscoff spread: In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and Biscoff spread. Stir with a spoon or use a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir the mashed bananas, eggs, and milk into the Biscoff mixture until well combined.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy—don’t overmix.
- Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top lightly.
- Bake the bread: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with just a few moist crumbs. Rotate the pan halfway through baking if your oven heats unevenly.
- Cool the loaf: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing or removing it.
- Store properly: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze portions for up to 3 months for longer storage.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- The vinegar or lemon juice helps activate the baking soda, aiding in the bread’s rise and tender crumb.
- Feel free to substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
- This recipe can be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk.
- Adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips can enhance texture and flavor.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
