Ingredients

Banana Bread Batter

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed

Topping

  • 4 Oreo cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the ripe bananas until smooth, creating the base for your banana bread batter.
  3. Add Butter: Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas, blending thoroughly to combine moisture and richness.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until fully combined for a smooth, cohesive batter.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sprinkle in the baking soda and a pinch of salt, mixing well to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  6. Add Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the flour disappears to avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in Oreo Cookies: Gently fold in 10 crushed Oreo cookies, leaving some larger chunks to add texture and bursts of chocolate flavor in the bread.
  8. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into your greased or lined loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
  9. Add Oreo Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 4 crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the top of the batter to provide a crunchy and decorative finish.
  10. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
  11. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes to slightly set, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a tough texture.
  • Check the bread about 5 minutes before the minimum baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
  • Store leftover banana bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
