  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

Bread

  • 1½ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 23 bananas)
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Oreo cookies, chopped

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ½ cup Oreo cookies, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash the bananas: In a large bowl, add the ripe bananas and mash them until mostly smooth, ensuring a creamy base for the bread.
  3. Mix the base: Stir in vegetable oil, baking soda, and salt into the mashed bananas until well combined for the batter’s foundation.
  4. Add the wet ingredients: Whisk in vanilla bean paste, eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  5. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually stir in the all-purpose flour just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  6. Fold in the Oreos: Gently fold the chopped Oreo cookies into the batter to distribute them evenly without breaking them up too much.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50–60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes for easier removal, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
  9. Make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and drizzle this glaze over the cooled loaf.
  10. Garnish and set: Sprinkle the remaining chopped Oreos on top of the glaze and allow it to set for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a dense bread.
  • Let the bread cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
  • You can substitute vanilla bean paste with pure vanilla extract if necessary.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
