How To Make Oreo Banana Bread
Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a metal loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it with non-stick baking spray. In a mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork.
Step 2 - Add in the milk, melted butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until well combined. Add the flour to the banana mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3 - Crush or chop the Oreo cookies into chunky pieces, then gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
Step 4 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle some additional chopped Oreo cookies on top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the banana bread is golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5 - While the banana bread bakes, prepare the Oreo Banana Bread Icing. Using an electric hand mixer, blend powdered sugar, melted butter, and cream cheese until smooth. Once the banana bread is done baking and has cooled for a few minutes, drizzle the icing over the top. Slice and enjoy this irresistible Cookies n Cream Banana Bread with your favorite beverage.
