Make this moist, indulgent Oreo banana bread by mixing crushed cookies directly into the batter for a cookies and cream experience in a quick bread format. This is an easy banana bread recipe perfect for using overripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies, roughly chopped or crushed
  • 1/2 cup additional Oreo cookies, crushed for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 2 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and milk.
  5. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. A few streaks of flour are fine.
  7. Gently fold in the 1 cup of roughly chopped Oreo cookies.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle the extra crushed Oreos over the top of the batter.
  9. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and moisture in your bread.
  • For a cream cheese swirl, mix 4 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Drop spoonfuls over the batter before baking and gently swirl with a knife.
  • If the top starts browning too quickly during baking, loosely tent the loaf pan with aluminum foil for the remaining cook time.
