Banana bread w/Cookie Butter & Chocolate Chips

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!

PoPo’s Banana Bread with Cookie butter & Chocolate Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups flour, sifted
  • 2 tsp baking poweder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup cookie butter
  • 1 tbsp turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium size bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add one egg at a time and mix until incorporated. Add half of the mashed bananas and mix well
  • Sift all of the dry ingredients together and add into the wet ingredients. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. Add remaining bananas and lemon juice. Beat for 2 more minutes. Fold in chocolate chips
  • In a buttered / greased loaf pan, pour in banana bread batter. In microwave heat cookie butter in a small bowl for 15-20 seconds or until runny enough to drizzle. Drizzle cookie butter over banana bread batter and swirl into the batter until incorporated. Evenly sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top. Bake in over for 1 hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean

Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗 Crispy Chicken Salad with Shallot Vinaigrette 🥗🍓🫐 It’s simple but so delicious.  I love how it comes together so fast, and honestly? You could leave out the chicken and it still totally holds up as a side dish

INGREDIENTS:

CRISPY CHICKEN
1¼ lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 tsp salt
¾ tsp pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Green Goddess seasoning (I use Trader Joe’s)
½ cup flour
¾ cup avocado oil

SALAD
4–5 cups spring mix salad blend
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
3 strawberries, sliced
⅓ cup blueberries
⅓ cup candied pecans
⅓ cup goat cheese crumbles

VINAIGRETTE
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tsp shallot, finely minced
½ tsp mayo
½ tsp Dijon mustard
Dash of salt and pepper
3 tbsp avocado oil or EVOO

DIRECTIONS:
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally into thirds if you’re using 2 large ones. If using 3 smaller breasts, slice them in half horizontally. Using a mallet, pound each cutlet until it’s thin and evenly flat.

Massage the seasonings into the chicken, then coat each piece in flour.

Add oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet. Once the oil reaches 350°F, add a single layer of chicken. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F. Set aside and let the chicken rest.

In a salad bowl or on a platter, layer the spring mix, red onion, strawberries, blueberries, candied pecans, and goat cheese. Slice the chicken and arrange it on top.

To make the vinaigrette, add the red wine vinegar, minced shallot, mayo, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Whisk together, then slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking until fully emulsified.

Drizzle over salad or serve dressing on the side!
