Oreo Banana Bread

Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it.

Mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add the mashed bananas to the bowl and mix until combined.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt directly to the wet mixture and stir until just combined—be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the chopped Oreos.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Press a few Oreo pieces on top for decoration.

Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine). Start checking at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.

Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing

Cream cheese icing

Whisk the cream cheese first until smooth.

Slowly whisk in the cooled melted butter.

Add powdered sugar and mix until glossy.
