We call it cookie bread, because when sliced, it’s thick, rich, and gooey like a cookie–slightly different than a loaf of bread.

Bake up a few loaves of this easy recipe and either eat, share, or freeze a loaf. The combo of cookies and bread makes the texture perfect for a snack or breakfast quick bread. And it’s not just for kids–adults love this recipe as well.

Tips and substitutions:

  • Great for a care package: When I decided to make a care package for my son who recently moved away, this recipe came to mind. And that quote. It’s always nice to “tip ourselves” and think of others! I mean, who doesn’t love banana bread, peanut butter, and chocolate? [Also try this Easy Banana Bread with Peanut Butter Glaze.]
  • Mix up the chocolate chips for different chip flavors (white chocolate, butterscotch, toffee chips, etc.)
  • Serve right away or you can freeze each loaf (wrap well before freezing).
