Hello, lovely readers! I’m so excited to share a delightful twist on a classic treat that I’ve been enjoying lately: Oreo Banana Bread.
As you might remember from the About page, in the Get to Know Me section, I mentioned my love for Oreo. As such, when I came across this Oreo Banana Bread recipe on Instagram, although I didn’t save the post (oops!), I knew I had to try it.
Now, if you’re anything like my husband and daughter, who aren’t exactly banana bread enthusiasts, don’t worry. My hope is that this recipe might just convert y’all into fans! While they might not appreciate a classic banana bread, adding Oreo cookies (that they like) into the mix turns it into something exciting.
I was confident that it couldn’t be too difficult to recreate especially if you already have a banana bread recipe that you love and have been following. And I was right! With just a few basic ingredients, you can whip up this delicious bread in no time.
