Mouth watering? These little banana bread loaves are such a treat! Sorry for the ridiculously long title, I’m known for having mile long titles for my recipes. This is my entry for The Banana Bread Bake-off with Not Quite Nigella. There’s still time to get your entry in, check it out. I’m always up for a good bake-off!
Also, do check out Phemomenon’s blog for her very sweet”Blogging for Babies” Little Wonders Event round up!
I was brainstorming as to what kind of banana bread I wanted to make and I started thinking of some of my favorite ingredients right now. Cinnamon chips, white chocolate and coconut. These little loaves were the perfect combo of my favorites right now and are so tasty. I highly recommend trying them when you see you need to use up those bananas! Who can resist that sweet drizzle? Not me!
Don’t those cinnamon chips look yummy inside?!
This is how I prefer it, more drizzle please! Enjoy everyone!

Thank you for everyone’s nice comments! Megan, I had a hard time finding them myself, but finally the SuperTarget by myself started carrying them. If you have a Super Target close by that’s where I’d check first. Good luck!
The best banana bread i have ever had!!! Sooooo good!!!!!
I did not make the glaze but it was still the most moist bread and i will make it again and again.
Jenny,
I love your blog. I stumbled across it a few months ago. I am wondering where you buy your cinnamon chips. I have looked and looked here in WA with no luck. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I made these little loaves yesterday and they tasted great. I will definitely be keeping this recipe. The only thing is my glaze looked nothing like yours…..not white. The taste was very good though.
Glad I found your blog site.
Do these ever sound heavenly!!!!!
Looks great, where do you find cinnamon chips?
You are talkin’ my language hear! Yum!
Jenny, you just amaze me with these recipes you come up with. I feel like I’m pretty good at following directions, but I’m no good at winging it! I’m in total awe! 😉
These look so decadent. Really beautiful pics, too.
I googled “Starbucks coffee cake recipe” today, and guess who’s blog came up?!
I forgot that you made that.
I made coffee cake muffins, but I totally screwed them up. Oh well.
Okay, I declare you the winner!! You’ll be receiving a million bucks anyday now. 🙂
What a combination! It looks delicious.
That banana bread looks so good! I really like the idea of using white chocolate and cinnamon chips in banana bread!

Hi Helene,
One of my favorite things about making banana bread is how wonderful the house smells when it’s in the oven. Yum!
Thanks dobetter!
Thanks for your nice comment sweet and saucy!
This banana bread looks so good! What a fun twist you put on it! Love your blog by the way!
Jenny, that looks AMAZING!
Yummy! I make banana bread every week.
Thanks Stephanie,
They do look kind of fancy don’t they!
Hi Melanie,
Definitely need to be a sweet tooth to enjoy these little breads!
Me too Deborah, I love coconut.
Hi Kameron,
I get a lot of my little random dishes at thrift stores. I got the little blue plate at DI in Mesa. It was probably a few weeks ago. They had more, maybe they’d still have some. They were a whole 25 cents. Isn’t that fun!? Good luck, hope you find some.
Yum yum! Question for you: where did you get those adorable blue bee plates? My sister-in-law does the bee thing (our last name is Bybee, after all), and I’d love to get her some…
I’ve been on a coconut kick lately, so these really have my mouth watering!
Now THAT is a deluxe banana bread and not for the faint of heart, it sounds like. Delicious!
Wow, that takes banana bread from comforting to BLING!! Looks great!
Thanks Patsyk!
Lori,
I try not even looking at all the food events going on, because I’d never get anything done around my house! However, I’ve always got time for banana bread! And plus I had 4 mean looking black bananas staring at me in my kitchen! Can’t wait to see your bread!
I made my banana bread recipe yesterday for this event… haven’t posted about it yet!!
This looks like a wonderful dessert-style banana bread. I LOVE cinnamon chips, but I’ve never thought to add them to BB! Brilliant!
That looks incredible! I love the drizzle of icing… yummy!
Thanks Grace,
Hope you enjoy!
Hi Tarah,
I noticed you and I were both thinking coconut banana bread. I saw your cute little muffins, they look equally delicious!
Hi Lisa,
Will be looking forward to seeing your recipe!
Thanks Laureen Hope you enjoy!
Let me know how your bread turns out Nikki! I feel like I am cooking or baking all the time too!
I am going to try this tonight. I will let you know. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes. I am always cooking and baking. Like to try new things.
WOW – this looks amazing. I am totally making this soon. YUM!
Jenny,
Wow! That looks good and the loaf looks so cute. I am going to be searching for banana bread recipes this weekend to get an entry in next week. Have a great weekend!
Mmm, I like how you topped it with icing. Finger lickin good :]
Also like how you used pudding mix. It really makes it better and moist :] I’ll sometimes use it when I make Cinnamon Rolls :]
Love the photos, by the way! 😀
that title is indeed a mouthful! speaking of mouthfuls, i’d love to wrap my lips around a hunk of that bread–it’s got all my favorites! brilliant recipe!
