🥫 Storage

Store Oreo banana bread on the counter in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 4 days.

Freeze for up to 3 months. I like to slice the loaves and place parchment or wax paper between the slices and then freeze. That way I can get just one or two slices as needed.

📖 Variations

  • Try Lemon Oreos or any of the different varieties. I love Peanut Butter Oreos in this.
  • Add up to a half cup of chopped pecans.
  • Top with a drizzly glaze like this one.

💭 Things to know

Expert Tip: If you use salted butter just omit the salt in the recipe.

  • If loaves start to brown too quickly place a foil tent over them.
  • The oil makes this a very moist bread - if you prefer butter then use ½ melted butter and half oil.
  • To remove bread easily line each greased loaf pan with parchment paper then spray with a little cooking spray. The baked loaves will lift right out.
  • Don't overmix your batter or the bread will be tough.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.

👩‍🍳 FAQs

Why does my banana bread keep coming out dry?

You may be using too much flour. Be sure to measure the flour lightly into the measuring cup.

How do you moisten banana bread after baking?

If you've overbaked a little or it seems dry try brushing the loaf with simple syrup and wrapping it in plastic wrap for a couple of hours.

How can you tell if banana bread is done?

An instant read thermometer will read about 200 degrees f when you stick it in the center if bread is done.

📞 The last word

Banana bread is one of those foods that almost everyone loves - and why not? It's sweet, tender, and full of yummy banana flavor plus it's easy to make.

I've made several variations of my banana bread recipe over the years. Pecans and chocolate chips have been added at times and at other times I've added raisins, toffee bits, or some other easy ingredient.

I don't know what made me think to add chopped Oreos but I am sure glad that I did.

The Oreo cookies give you little explosions of chocolate in every bite while retaining some of the texture and flavor of an Oreo.

I usually have a few cookies left to make these deep fried Oreos with!

The oil keeps this easy banana bread recipe moist for days -- if it lasts that long!

If you click on the number of servings in the recipe card you can adjust the measurements up or down for the exact number of servings you need. Don't forget that you can click on "add to collection" to save it to your own, private recipe box!

    My kids refuse to eat bananas once the little brown freckles appear. While I think that it's the very best time to eat a banana my kids consider them "gross", "slimy", and "too ripe".

    On the other hand, I won't eat them until they've had a few days to ripen and for the sugars to develop. Since I am usually sticking to a low carb diet and therefore foregoing bananas altogether we generally have some in various stages of overripe.

    My kids will want to eat a particular food for weeks on end. It  might be bananas or apples or clementines.

    Could be broccoli or asparagus. Then, all of a sudden (and usually when I have stocked up on the item) they just can't bear to look at whatever it is let alone actually consume it. I don't know. Do any of y'all's kids do that?

    It's crazy.

    My older four weren't fussy eaters. When they were growing up we had a lot less money and fewer options. Cereal, fresh fruit, and other "non-essentials" were seldom on the grocery list.

    Things have been so much better for the younger four but I wish their tastes were a little more predictable!

        Yes! The baking temp stays the same but check the loaves at 15-20 minutes.

      I've made banana bread with a sugar free cake mix and chocolate chips, do you think I could make the mix with the oreo's? I don't imagine why I couldn't. This recipe will be a hit when my grandsons come for a visit. Maybe even add in some chocolate chips.
