You no longer need to search the internet for sweet breakfast recipes because we have already put together a list for you. You’re likely to discover the ideal breakfast-turned-dessert on this list, whether you desire a pancake buoyed by chocolate syrup or a beautifully moist crumb cake.

• Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are lightly browned at the edges. Let stand on the cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Store at room temperature. I like to put each cookie into a sandwich bag which makes them easy to grab on the way out the door.

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread with Whipped Mocha Mascarpone Recipe

Although the name is difficult to pronounce, the food is fantastic. This is a fresh approach to traditional banana bread. It has a chocolate chip filling within and whipped mocha mascarpone on top. The very ripe bananas in the kitchen are used up in this simple recipe. What is not to love about this dish for a sweet breakfast?

Ingredients

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

• Unsalted butter
• Ripe bananas 
• Granulated sugar —  You may substitute this for brown sugar if it’s a matter of preference. The sweetness level will be the same but because brown sugar contains molasses the banana bread may have a different texture.
• Egg
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Chocolate chips

Mocha Mascarpone Topping

• Mascarpone cheese — It is important to use softened mascarpone.
• Powdered sugar
• Instant coffee — The amount used is dependent on how strong of a coffee flavor you would like.
• Cocoa powder
• Vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
• In a medium-size microwavable bowl, microwave the butter until melted, about 40-60 seconds.
• Mash in the bananas with the melted butter. Then, mix in the sugar and egg.
• Lastly, stir in the remaining dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt) and chocolate chips. Make sure not to over-mix.
• Next, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake the mixture for about 45-55 minutes until golden brown. Or insert a knife or toothpick in the middle, and if it comes out clean, then the banana bread is done and ready.
• Immediately, remove the bread from the pan. Do not allow the bread to cool in the pan or the bread will turn into a soggy banana cake.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the softened mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, instant coffee, cocoa powder, and vanilla until well combined.
• It is important that the mascarpone is softened before mixing. This ensures that the mascarpone will blend well with the other ingredients.
• Mascarpone is too warm at room temperature. You can take it out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before making the topping so that it is softened but still chilled.
• The recipe calls for one teaspoon of instant coffee. But you can use more or less, depending on how strong of a coffee flavor you would like.
• Whip until stiff peaks form. It should have a whipped cream texture.
• And that’s it! Wasn’t that easy? The whipped mascarpone is a great recipe to top on any dessert or fruit.
• Slice the banana bread, spread it with some mascarpone topping, and enjoy!
