What is Biscoff Banana Bread?

Biscoff banana bread is a scrumptious spin on traditional banana bread. By incorporating Biscoff flavor into both the batter and the streusel topping, we’ve created a moist, mouthwatering bread that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert. The Biscoff adds a rich, caramel-like flavor with a hint of spice — it’s absolutely heavenly!

This recipe takes the humble banana bread and elevates it to new heights. The combination of ripe bananas, creamy Biscoff spread, and a crunchy Biscoff streusel topping is pure magic. It’s easy to make, super satisfying, and sure to become a favorite in your home like it has in ours!

Ingredients You Need

Biscoff Streusel Topping:

  • All-Purpose Flour – This forms the base of our streusel, giving it a nice, crumbly texture. 
  • Roughly Chopped Biscoff Cookies – These cookies add a delightful crunch and their signature spiced flavor to the streusel.
  • Packed Light Brown Sugar – This adds sweetness and a hint of molasses flavor to the streusel. Brown sugar also helps the streusel caramelize beautifully.
  • Rolled Oats – These add a bit of texture and heartiness to the streusel. We love the slight chewiness they bring to the table.
  • Ground Cinnamon – This warm spice complements the flavors of the Biscoff and bananas perfectly. 
  • Fine Salt – A pinch of salt enhances all the flavors in the streusel. We use fine salt so that it’s easy to evenly disperse it in the streusel mixture.
  • Cold Unsalted Butter – Cutting in cold butter creates a crumbly, delicious streusel! We prefer unsalted butter to control the saltiness.

Banana Bread:

  • Large Ripe Bananas – These add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread. The riper the bananas, the better the flavor.
  • Melted Unsalted Butter – Butter helps to make the bread rich and moist. Melting the butter helps it to incorporate easily into the batter.
  • Granulated Sugar – This sweetens the bread and helps create a tender crumb. Granulated sugar dissolves well in the batter.
  • Large Room-Temperature Eggs – Eggs add structure and richness. Using them at room temperature ensures they mix in smoothly.
  • Vanilla Extract – This enhances all the other flavors in the bread. We love the sweet, aromatic touch it adds.
  • Sea Salt – A little salt balances the sweetness and brings out the flavors. We prefer sea salt for its clean taste.
  • Sour Cream – This adds moisture and a slight tanginess. 
  • Baking Soda – This helps the bread rise and become fluffy. Baking soda reacts with the acidity in the sour cream.
  • All-Purpose Flour – This forms the structure of the bread. All-purpose flour is our go-to for a soft, tender crumb.
  • Biscoff Spread – This creamy spread adds a rich, caramel-like flavor. We swirl it into the batter for pockets of Biscoff goodness.
  • Roughly Chopped Biscoff Cookies – These add texture and flavor throughout the bread. Chopping them roughly ensures you get decadent bites of cookies in every slice.

How to Make Biscoff Banana Bread

  1. Prepare the streusel topping. Add the chopped Biscoff cookies, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and fine salt to a large bowl. Then, use a pastry cutter or your fingers to add the butter and mix until it’s crumbly and coarse. 
  2. Mash the bananas. Place the bananas in a bowl, mash, and mix in the melted butter until the two ingredients are completely combined.
  3. Combine. Pour the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt into the banana mixture before mixing in the sour cream and Biscoff spread.
  4. Add dry ingredients. Add the flour and baking soda to the banana mixture in increments. Then, fold in the chopped Biscoff cookies.
  5. Assemble the bread. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to ensure the top is smooth before adding the Biscoff streusel on top.
  6. Bake. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until it passes the toothpick test. Halfway through baking, cover with foil. 
  7. Cool the bread. Let the bread rest briefly in the pan. Then, invert it onto a cooling rack and allow it to come to room temperature before serving or storing.

Variations

  • Chocolate Chips– Add a cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a chocolatey twist.
  • Nuts – Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch and flavor.
  • Spices – Add a teaspoon of ground ginger and nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Muffins – Pour the batter into a muffin tin for individual servings. Adjust the baking time accordingly.

Can I Store Leftovers?

It’s easy to store this bread — you can keep it at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or you can refrigerate it or freeze it. 

To refrigerate the bread, store it in an airtight container for up to 1 week. 

You can also store it longer by wrapping the bread tightly in plastic wrap and freezing it for up to 3 months.

    I don’t want the tanginess from sour cream can I just skip this ingredients or add heavy whipping cream? Otherwise this sounds fantastic!

    1. You could use Greek yogurt instead. We haven’t tested it with heavy whipping cream, but it might be too soft.

  2. Hi

    Thank you ladies for such delicious, authentic and easy recipes. I havenโ€™t tried this recipe yet, but looking forward to it. Can I use traditional oats instead of the Rolled ones?

  3. 3 stars
    Smelled great, but was lacking flavor and took about 30 – 45 min longer to bake than the recipe stated. Good concept? May try again with serval changes.

    1. We’re sorry to hear you didn’t love it but appreciate the feedback, Mae. We’d love to know how it goes if you make changes.

      Xo,

  5. 5 stars
    This was easy to make and itโ€™s SO GOOD!! (So good I wouldnโ€™t be sad if I had this instead of chocolate!)

        1. We find them in the international or sweet section of our local grocery store, but you can also find them online!
