  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 3 ripe bananas (medium or large, mashed with a fork until smooth)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Oreos (coarsely chopped)
  • 5-6 Oreos for topping
  • Dark chocolate (melted, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-by 5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Using a hand mixer, whisk, or food processor, blend the lightly beaten eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently and mix just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Oreos: Carefully fold in the coarsely chopped Oreos, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining 5-6 chopped Oreos on top of the batter for an attractive topping.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
  8. Cool: Allow the banana bread to rest in the pan for 10 minutes after baking. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional Finish: If desired, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the cooled banana bread for added flavor and decoration.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas as they provide natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • The melted dark chocolate drizzle is optional but adds a delicious finishing touch.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to one week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend.
