How to Make Oreo Banana Bread

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
4. Combine Everything: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Add Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Helpful Tips

• Bananas: Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
• Oreos: Leave some larger Oreo chunks for delightful bites of crunch.
• Doneness: Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Substitutions and Variations

• Butter: Swap melted butter for coconut oil for a slight tropical twist.
• Sugar: For a caramel-like flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• Gluten-Free: Replace the flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
