Biscoff Banana Bread

Biscoff. Where to begin?

I guess on the airplane because that was the only place I had ever eaten a biscoff cookie. Until the great marketing folks at Lotus decided to start selling these in large grocery stores across the good ole USA.

And then they turned this beautiful cookie into a spread.

It is similar to the cookie butters sold at Trader Joes.

I altered my mothers amazing banana bread recipe to incorporate the spread! Yay for family recipes which make my recipe development easy 😀 Thanks, Mom!

I decided to make these into mini loaves so that I could share them with several friends before I left home.

I found some great little paper bread pans with bags and tags, made by Wilton.

Feel free to make this in a regular sized bread pan 😀

Here is my recipe:
