One of the most classic, comforting bakes you can make is a lovely loaf of banana bread. It is always such a simple, delicious recipe to whip up, plus it’s something that so many people adore. You can give it to family, friends, neighbors…you name it! But, with classic bakes sometimes comes limitations. The same old thing can get old at times when you’re making it over and over.

Here is my submission for an update to the classic: Banana Bread Biscuits! These biscuit bites are great for on-the-go breakfasts for busy mornings or an afterschool snack for these back-to-school weeks. They’re easy to make ahead of time, simply separate and seal in a vacuum-packed bag to store in your freezer. The banana flavor mixed with the pops of chocolate and subtle peanut butter swirl are a delicious way to start your day, plus an addition of protein powder makes for a filling and fueling bite!

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour and add 8 tbsp of butter in a snapping motion with your fingers.
3. Once your mix is the consistency of grated Parmesan cheese, add in peanut butter, white sugar, chocolate chips, and protein powder, if using. Mix well to evenly distribute the additions.
4. Make a well in your flour mixture and add in two bananas. Gently mix with your hands before adding whole milk slowly, mixing with your hands as you go. Combine until the dough is wet and sticky. Be careful not to overwork the dough. If more liquid is needed to absorb the flour, add additional milk a small amount at a time.
5. Liberally dust the dough, rolling surface, rolling pin, and cutter with the remaining mix. Flip the dough onto a dusted surface. Roll the dough using a rolling pin until it is 2 inches thick.
6. As you cut the biscuits, place them on a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet. The biscuits should touch. Bring the remaining dough back together into a mound. Roll, cut, and place the biscuits in the same manner.
7. Melt the remaining butter and brush onto the biscuits.Slice remaining banana into coins. Once buttered, add a pinch of turbinado sugar, a chocolate chip, and a slice of banana.
8. Bake for 16-18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
9. Once biscuits are out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
