Good Monday afternoon everyone! I rarely post during the middle of the day, but here I am putting this before my shower. I’m a mess!
I’ve had black bananas staring at me in the kitchen for over a week now and I finally put them to good use this morning.I’ve seen some beautiful biscotti on so many blogs lately and since I’ve never made my own, I decided to give it a shot.Since I practically have a year supply’s worth of cinnamon chips I knew I’d be adding them to the banana bread dough.Let me tell you, it is a perfect match.I know we’ve talked about this before, but do try to get your hands a bag of cinnamon chips.They are great in so many baked goods!
Take a peek and Enjoy!!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I stumbled across this recipe and was very excited to use up my over-ripe bananas! I was disappointed after making them because I could not get them to crisp up. Perhaps some of my measurements or baking times were off. Despite the lack of crispy biscotti-ness, they were still delicious! I used peanut butter chips instead of cinnamon and dipped in a mixture of melted down peanut butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Hopefully next time I make these they turn out more like biscotti and less like slices of banana bread!! haha
I have a batch cooling right now – thanks for the great recipe!
For anyone still looking for cinnamon chips, I bought mine at The Prepared Pantry – they’re wonderful to deal with, and they have a lot of premium products.

Such nice biscotti Jenny! Loved the idea of making a banana dough AND addind cinnamon chips AND dipping in white chocolate! Yummmmm!
I haven’t had biscotti in so long, but I truly love it!

The non-perils are such a great idea! They add a nice, special touch! Yum!
They look fabulous!! I bet they’re amazing with a hot cup of coffee.
i have never made biscotti either! i am not a fan of bananas but i would love it with chocolate!
I fell in love with biscotti when I worked at Starbucks almost a decade ago (ugh, that long?). Never tried making them myself though. I will have to try these, they look awesome.
The biscotti looks so elegant with the white frosting. Bananas and cinnamon chips does sound like a tasty combination :).
Look at these cookies! They are awesome Jenny! Can’t wait to try them!
Cinnamon chips make every baked good taste better! There was a sale on these chips for a $1 one day at my local market. I went nuts and bought literally 10 bags. I thought sure they had made a mistake!! Now I’m a little overloaded w/ cinnamon chips.
These look wooooonderful!
I love those cinnamon chips! What tasty looking biscotti-I would love one right now to dip in my morning tea!
they look beautiful indeed!!! 🙂
Word up–after you’ve made some really yummy perfect looking banana biscotti, two kinds, one just like yours and one with banana/choc. chips and walnuts, and then you turn off the oven and leave them in it to run and pick kids up from school and then get home and do homework and things like that, and then never even think about your biscotti “drying out” in the oven and pretty much forget that you even made it and then two hours later turn on the oven to make the kids some chicken nuggets for dinner, after all that, just know that you will have burned biscotti when you open the very hot oven to put the nuggets in and remember your once gorgeous biscotti is now burned! Sigh!
I was really bummed. Will have to try this again!
Just grand!! Loving the flavors and ooh looks good. I must make some!!
Oh yummy! I love biscotti-especially the dipped ones.
What a great way to use up those bananas! These look wonderful and I so love them being dipped in white chocolate yum yum!
These look fab! Everything is always so much better with chocolate!
I’ve never tried biscotti. Thanks for making this approachable. I tagged you with a meme. I thought it would be fun to pass it along and see everyone’s responses. Check out my blog and see.
Hmmm… bookmarking this one. I am now biscotti obsessed. As in, I have designated a cookie jar on my counter that I want to keep filled with biscotti. I’m sure I would LOVE this version. Next time I have some bananas I will try this!
Wow, just whipping up some biscotti are ya? Ha ha. Very nice. They look beautiful!!!!!
