Oreo Banana Bread

Because banana bread is such a solid base to improvise from, you can make some really exciting variations on banana bread. This Oreo banana bread is just one example, but we encourage you to experiment! It’s easy to add raisins, toffee bits, or other types of crumbled-up sweet treats to your batter and see how they turn out.

With this recipe, the inclusion of Oreo cookies gives you just a little chocolate explosion with every bite. It even retains a little of the texture and flavor of an Oreo cookie, which is pretty cool.

  • You can add some crunch factor by throwing in up to half a  cup of chopped pecans.
  • You can drizzle your banana bread with melted chocolate.

Things To Know

  • If your loaf starts browning too quickly, you should place a tent over the top.
  • You can easily remove your banana bread from the pan by spray it with a little cooking spray with flour before adding your batter.
  • Avoid overmixing your batter! This will result in tougher bread.
  • Use all your ingredients at room temperature. This is the best way to make banana bread as your ingredients will all cook evenly in the oven.

Banana Bread FAQs

Why Does My Banana Bread Keep Turning Out Dry?

Check your measurements and ratios. You might be using too much flour! Stick to our recommended measurements and ratios for all ingredients and see if the banana bread is still too dry.

How Do You Moisten Banana Bread After Baking?

If you’ve overbaked a little, or your bread seems dry, you can brush it with a simple sugary syrup. Once you’ve brushed it, wrap the loaf in plastic wrap for a few hours to allow the moisture in your syrup to penetrate the bread.
