Peanut Butter Oreo Banana Bread Recipe

I don’t really feel like I need to pitch you the merits of peanut butter, chocolate, and banana bread. Because if you’re not already a fanatical lover of all three… you’ve possibly lost your way and landed here on Something Swanky.

Triple the peanut butter in this sweet banana bread with a decadent cookies & cream packed ganache on top!

When I first made this recipe back in 2013, I wasn’t totally sure how to incorporate the Oreos. All I knew was that I wanted to make a peanut butter banana bread with lots and lots of Oreos. So I just tried cramming them all into the batter. And it was…. fine. A little chaotic, not quite perfect, but still pretty okay.

And then about a year later, I made this Scotcheroo Banana Bread with the dreamiest peanut butter-butterscotch ganache on top. And that’s when I realized exactly what I wanted to do with the Oreos in this banana bread recipe.

It’s taken me another 3 long years to finally get around to doing it, but here we are– making a deep, dark chocolate and peanut butter ganache packed to the brim with Oreo crumbles! ????

The ganache! People! The ganache was the answer all along. They were never quite right in the batter. Somehow they blended in. That signature cookies & cream taste was lost in the flavor of bananas and the texture was way too soft. You just could find the cookies in the bread!

Well, there’s no getting lost in here. We’re smothering those babies in chocolate and spreading them front, top, and center of this recipe. You can’t take a bite without getting a mouthful of cookies and cream!

Peanut butter was another flavor that surprisingly got a little lost in the old recipe. It didn’t really have a place to stand out and shine back then. But today’s version of banana bread puts peanut butter right back out in the spotlight. It’s in the bread batter, in the ganache, and drizzled right on top where you can’t possibly miss it.

Chocolate, peanut butter, Oreo, and banana lovers– this bread is for you!

I adore banana bread.

Seriously. If I were to write another cookbook and it was a one-food-themed topic, it would most certainly be banana bread.

Maybe it’s because of my mom’s banana bread recipe. It’s comforting and nostalgic and one of the cornerstone recipes in my baking repertoire. Or maybe it’s because I always over-buy bananas, and we have at least 4 overripe bananas every week for banana bread baking.

Or maybe it’s just because nothing in the world beats homemade banana bread. Period.

No matter the reason, my love for banana bread knows no bounds, and I love to eat it in any shape or form.

Particularly as donuts. Donuts are never, ever wrong. Am I right? Or am I right?!

https://www.somethingswanky.com/banana-bread-donuts/

As you can see, these aren’t just any banana bread donuts. These are anything but ordinary.

Unless your definition of ordinary includes being dipped in chocolate, smothered in coconut and caramel, and drizzled with more chocolate on top? Because in that case, yes. These would be very ordinary ????.

Enjoy!

The best EVER banana bread on Something Swanky

The BEST Banana Bread Ever. Recipe

This banana bread is extra moist and extra delicious thanks to four whole bananas per loaf, brown sugar, and butter.

The best EVER banana bread on Something Swanky

Ok, you guys. I have to confess something.

I could have sworn I had already published this recipe.

Like…. truly. I’m not totally confident here that I didn’t post this just last week. I mean, I looked. But I’m kind of losing my mind these days, and I’m afraid I just sort of missed it.

So here’s the deal. If this is a repeat, can we all just agree to let it go? Look the other way and just pretend I didn’t already write this post?

I mean, I’m hoping I didn’t. But seriously, no promises.

Thanks gang.

The best EVER banana bread on Something Swanky

Oh! That reminds me– speaking of losing my mind…

My Facebook page was majorly hacked today. And I am SO SORRY! They have been posting the most horrible spammy posts, and I’m so horrified that my wonderful readers are seeing this stuff pop up in their feed with my name attached to it ????.

I spent all day chasing down Facebook humans (they don’t really exist, by the way), trying to delete the nasty posts for as long as I had access to the page, and asking people to report the page as hacked. It feels like digging a tunnel with a spoon… or however that saying goes. You know what I mean.

Basically… it stinks. It’s been a crazy long day and nothing actually got fixed where Facebook is concerned.

So there’s that. Fingers crossed we get things all sorted out by tomorrow ????????.

The best EVER banana bread on Something Swanky

Moving on.

You know what makes all the stupid Facebook hacker stuff go away? This banana bread.

Seriously. I’m making a batch tonight, because it’s the best food I could think of to adequately fill the void of a destroyed Facebook page that took 6 painstaking years of my life to fill with 200K followers and a gajillion dessert recipes.

Banana bread is the only thing that can help me at this point.

The best EVER banana bread on Something Swanky

And not just any banana bread. No, my friends. This is magic banana bread. THE BEST banana bread in the whole entire world ever.

That’s right. I said it.

It’s THE BEST.

Never, in all my years of banana bread eating, did I know that a piece of banana bread could actually melt in your mouth. Did you know that?! It can! THIS banana bread can. It has a moist, tender crumb that pairs with the crunch of walnuts in the most beautiful contrast of textures to have ever happened in a bread. In fact, I declare this bread to be so perfect that it doesn’t even need chocolate!

It is that good, folks.

If you’ve been searching for the perfect banana bread recipe– this is it folks. It doesn’t get better than this!

Hey hey, it’s 2017! So, tell me everything. Are you making New Year resolutions? Are you losing weight? Getting fit? Eating more dessert?

Wait. Just me? ????

Kidding. I actually started my 2017 health “resolutions” last week. After about December 27, I just felt like I couldn’t go another day without getting on track. And by “on track,” I mean Weight Watchers. Always. It’s my favorite go-to (see this post… and this one).

This banana bread is perfect for a special birthday breakfast or just a fun way to use up those old bananas! Incredibly moist, easy to make, and so much fun.

Speaking of Weight Watchers and zero point bananas….

Would you check out this Birthday Cake Banana Bread??

Because I’m sure this is exactly what Weight Watchers had in mind when they made bananas a point-free food ???? ???? ????.

This banana bread is perfect for a special birthday breakfast or just a fun way to use up those old bananas! Incredibly moist, easy to make, and so much fun.

 

This is my favorite cake mix banana bread recipe, and I think it is just fabulous. I’ve made Red Velvet Banana Bread and Brownie Banana Bread using this same recipe, and it’s just a super dependable delicious recipe. The bread is moist, full of flavor, and has an incredibly tender crumb.

Hang on a second.

Can we talk about my weird foodie vernacular here? Tender crumb.

Isn’t that the weirdest food terminology you’ve ever heard?? And once you know what it is, there really is no other phrase you can use in place of tender crumb for a food that has a tender crumb. The best way I can describe “tender crumb” is when the crumbs of a cake or bread are so moist that you can use the back of a fork to smush them and pick them up… does that make any sense to anyone but me?

And omg, I’ve said tender crumb so much now that it’s starting to look weird to me. ????

This banana bread is perfect for a special birthday breakfast or just a fun way to use up those old bananas! Incredibly moist, easy to make, and so much fun.

Soooooo…. to get back on topic: this banana bread.

It’s really just so much fun. It’s simple to make since it uses a cake mix (only 4 ingredients total!). Which also means that it has a wonderfully predictable cake-like flavor and fluffy texture. If you have any tired bananas just sitting around, may I suggest this Birthday Cake Banana Bread instead of a smoothie?

I’m just saying… ????

Pumpkin Pudding Muffins Recipe

Pumpkin Pudding Muffins | somethingswanky.com

Yes, yes. I’ve put pudding mix in more baked goods.

I know some of you aren’t wild about pudding mix. Or you live in Australia where the stuff is totally unavailable (you guys should seriously put together some sort of national demand letter to Jell-O by the way, because not having instant pudding mix is crazy-talk!). But I looooooove adding pudding mix to my desserts. I totally throw it in anytime I can (obviously).

In case you’re a little late to the pudding mix scene, here are couple of reasons I love using it in my baked goods and one untested suggestion for a substitution if it’s not available to you…

Pumpkin Pudding Muffins | somethingswanky.com

So here’s the deal with pudding mix going into cookies, breads, muffins, and more: it makes the end result super moist… in the best possible way. “Moist” is such a risky word to use, isn’t it? But sometimes it’s the word for the job! And no way around it– moist baked goods = yummy baked goods.

The second thing I love about adding pudding mix is that it enhances the flavor of the treat. It either adds an extra layer of flavor (like chocolate pudding in a chocolate cookie = double the chocolate! Yum!), or it actually adds a NEW flavor (like cheesecake pudding in peanut butter cookies = peanut butter cheesecake!!). I love both functions.

And in regards to a substitute for pudding mix in baked goods? Well… I don’t think there’s much you can do to replace it for it’s flavor properties. But Averie once mentioned to me that she found using cornstarch worked in cookies in a way that might be similar to how pudding mix does! I haven’t tested that myself, and I’m not sure if she’s done it in more than the one cookie recipe. But it might be something worth trying if instant pudding mix is totally unavailable to you!

Thanks to pudding mix, these muffins are extra soft and fluffy, perfectly moist, and a little extra pumpkin-y. Give them a quick dunk in butter and cinnamon sugar for a perfectly cozy and sweet Fall breakfast!

Nothing beats a thick slice of super moist chocolate chip zucchini bread smothered in butter.

We DEVOURED this bread. Inhaled it.

Like… it didn’t even last two days. It barely stuck around past the 24 hour mark.

Nothing beats a thick slice of super moist chocolate chip zucchini bread smothered in butter.

It’s incredibly moist thanks to THREE CUPS of zucchini and the brown sugar.

And can you see how shiny the chocolate chips are? That’s my favorite part. In both banana bread and zucchini bread, I love how the moisture seeps into the chocolate chips creating a little chocolate “bubble” around each chip. I know I’m not doing a great job describing this, but you know what I’m talking about right?

I don’t know why, but that just gets me every time. ????

Nothing beats a thick slice of super moist chocolate chip zucchini bread smothered in butter.

Now, I’m no nutritional expert…. ahem, clearly ????… but I figure all the green veggies here make this bread a pretty square meal. Who’s with me?!

Enjoy a thick slice of this delicious zucchini bread warm or day-old, smothered in butter, with a tall glass of milk. You’ll be in heaven!

My favorite banana bread with a double batch of cinnamon streusel and icing on top. You won't want to eat banana bread any other way again!

What kind of a banana person are you? My husband likes them still green. Which completely grosses me out. I like mine a little bit speckled and sweet, but still firm.

Actually, what I really like is when they’re about 3 days past their prime and turning perfectly brown and ready for baking something sweet 🙂

Like this Banana Streusel Bread. It’s a tweak on my very favorite, super moist banana bread recipe. I used all brown sugar to really up the moist factor, and I added a coffee cake-like streusel on top. And a little vanilla glaze drizzle to make it taste like you’re biting into a giant cinnamon roll.

But better. Because it has bananas. Which makes it healthy ????.

Ridiculously easy bread that is super crusty on the outside and steamy soft on the inside. You won't believe how fool-proof this recipe is!

I have been OBSESSED with making homemade bread recently. Which is a little weird (and HOT!) for summertime, I know… but is homemade bread ever really out of season??

I actually have two different recipes I want to share with you, but for today– this Overnight Artisan Bread is what I’ve been making most frequently. And it’s been worth turning on the hot oven in the middle of June, I promise!

Ridiculously easy bread that is super crusty on the outside and steamy soft on the inside. You won't believe how fool-proof this recipe is!

Aside from the crusty outside and heavenly soft insides, there’s something else I really, really like about this bread.

It is SO EASY to make. And I mean, SOOOOOOOOOOO easy. You don’t need a mixer at all, in fact, you don’t even have to knead the dough! Just stir it with a spoon, and then cover it up to do it’s thing overnight.

Ridiculously easy bread that is super crusty on the outside and steamy soft on the inside. You won't believe how fool-proof this recipe is!

Yep– overnight!

That’s the other thing I love about this recipe. With most yeast breads, you have to be realllllly careful of the rising time. You always have to make sure that it rises just right— not too much or it will fall, and not too little or it won’t be soft and puffy. Which means, you usually have to be around to babysit the dough for an hour or two.

But not this bread! Mix up the dough (and let’s review here– no mixer and no kneading!), and then let it just sit on the counter overnight. It can rest at room temp for 12-18 hours!! That’s a whole lot of time that you DON’T need to babysit dough.

I seriously adore low maintenance  recipes like this one.

Ridiculously easy bread that is super crusty on the outside and steamy soft on the inside. You won't believe how fool-proof this recipe is!

Ok, so next up…. I didn’t get a picture of this part, but it’s not hard to describe:

After the 12-18 hours of rising, the dough will be puffed up in the bowl. Don’t worry, it shouldn’t look smooth and round like typical bread dough. It will be sticky and pocked, and it should be pretty much level and flat.

Use floured hands to grab the dough out of the bowl and gently form into a round disc. Loosely wrap the dough in plastic or a bread towel while the oven is preheating.

Ridiculously easy bread that is super crusty on the outside and steamy soft on the inside. You won't believe how fool-proof this recipe is!

Once the oven and the pot have preheated, place the dough in the pot, cover, and start baking. Quick tip. If you ever burn a pot, here’s an article on how to clean burnt pots and pans.!

Baking the bread in a dutch oven (or any covered pot that is oven safe up to 450ºF) is what makes this bread taste so special! The steam from baking in a covered pot bakes the inside of the bread to soft perfection, and it’s also responsible for making an incredible crust on the outside.

Steam is like the secret weapon of bread-making. It does magical things. ????

Once the bread cools (if you can wait that long before digging in), slice it up and serve it with pretty much anything! It makes fabulous sandwiches, incredible french toast, and even makes for a classy dinner bread on the side.

Enjoy!

Reese’s Cup Peanut Butter Banana Bread

This bread is dangerously delicious. If you love peanut butter and chocolate (and banana bread!), then you are in the right place, friends.

…or the wrong place. Depending on your self control (er, or lack of, as the case may be ????).

Super moist banana bread made with peanut butter and Reese's cups. We loved every last crumb!

This banana bread is dense and indulgent and bursting with some of the best flavors of all time ever: peanut butter, chocolate, and bananas. And Reese’s Cups. This bread is PACKED with Reese’s Cups.

Who’s on board?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ????????

If you’re the healthy sort, you should know that it’s packed with FOUR hefty bananas as well. So… you know. It’s basically health food. ????

Super moist banana bread made with peanut butter and Reese's cups. We loved every last crumb!

The key to super moist banana bread? Really, really, REALLY ripe bananas. In fact, I usually let mine get even more brown than what you see in this picture. I let these guys sit on the counter for an additional few days before turning them into another drool-worthy banana bread creation (recipe coming soon guys!).

If you’re lucky, you can snag over-ripe bananas that are on their way out in some grocery stores for clearance pricing. Which is always the best thing ever.

Or, if you really can’t wait for bananas to ripen on their own, try this trick for ripe bananas in less than 30 minutes.

Super moist banana bread made with peanut butter and Reese's cups. We loved every last crumb!

The other ingredient that contributes to INCREDIBLE moist bread in this recipe is the peanut butter. This banana bread is simply my mom’s recipe with an additional 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter. So I left all the ingredients we normally use in her banana bread– which is moist already– and just added to that!

More good fat (PB) + 4 whole bananas = the most heavenly moist banana bread of all time.

Plus, this recipe is really super easy. It takes kind of a long time to bake, but the prep is a breeze (you don’t even need a mixer)! And all that time in the oven means your house is going to smell ah-mazing while it’s baking.

You’re gonna fall in love, I’m telling you.

We haven’t even talked about all the stuff inside the bread yet!!

Although, I guess there’s not all that much to say. There are A LOT of chocolate chips and Reese’s Cups in this bread. Like, a lot.

Annnnnnd that pretty much sums up that. ????

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Ok you guys. RUN to your nearest farmers market and buy as many cute little baskets of strawberries as you can carry back to the car!!

We bought our first batch of farm fresh strawberries last weekend in NC, so I know we are on the cusp of massive amounts of strawberries being all over the place. Can. not. wait. I loooooooove strawberry season. Like, fiercely.

And, because I care about you, I wanted to be sure that you had this recipe for old fashioned strawberry shortcake before your kitchen is overflowing with sweet, juicy red berries.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

I know that the grocery stores all want you to think that strawberry shortcake is those like sponge cake cups that you can buy right by the strawberries in the produce section.

But that’s actually false. That’s sponge cake.

Strawberry short cake isn’t made with an angel food cake loaf either.

That’s angel food cake with strawberries on top.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Strawberry shortcake, REAL strawberry shortcake, is made with incredibly soft, fluffy, flaky biscuits that melt in your mouth with every bite.

And it’s ah-mazing. And way better than using  sponge cake or angel food cake. I promise.

You can certainly make the biscuits that require rolling and cutting, like these. But I think it’s even easier and just as delicious to make a good batch of drop biscuits.

A while ago I posted about these biscuits that are made with whipping cream instead of butter or shortening. I was shocked that you could make a biscuit so tender and flaky without using butter! But it turns out, YOU CAN! And that’s how these shortcakes are made.

You only need a very few simple ingredients:

  • all purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • a little bit of sugar
  • heavy cream

And that’s it!

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

The trick to making great biscuits with heavy cream is basically the same as when you’re using butter: take it easy.

Making biscuits is all about being gentle with the dough or else it’s going to get hard and tough. Add the cream gradually, and gently mix BY HAND with a wooden spoon or spatula. And stop mixing way before you think you should.

You’re not looking for a smooth, elastic dough here. In fact, these should be really lumpy, even crumbly. Your dough should look something like this when it’s time to stop mixing:

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Not over mixing the dough is absolutely crucial in achieving a soft and tender biscuit.

Once the dough looks like that, you can scoop the dough (about 1/4 cup) and drop it on to a lined baking sheet.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

While these are baking, go ahead and slice the strawberries.

Add some sugar and let them sit for about 30 minutes.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Now it’s time for the magic.

Traditionally, you eat strawberry shortcake with whipped cream. But I think it’s better with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream! As it melts, it soaks right into the biscuit and all over the berries, and it is utterly sinful.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

Sweet and juicy strawberries and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream sandwiched in between light and fluffy shortcake.

You guys. I’m telling you, this is your new favorite recipe for this spring and summer! Hoard those strawberries and then invite everybody you know over for short cake!!

And here’s a tip for using frozen strawberries instead of fresh (because if you’re like me, you buy out all the strawberries when they’re so good and freeze them for later): make this strawberry sauce to go with your shortcakes instead of macerated berries! So, so good.

Enjoy!

There are no words to describe how amazing this French Toast is. Baked in caramel sauce and filled with juicy blueberries, this make-ahead breakfast is flavor to the max!

You guys. THIS is French toast. Made with thick slices of homemade blueberry bread that soak up a cream and egg custard, topped and baked with a caramel sauce that is out of this world! If you’ve ever eaten monkey bread, you’ll find that it tastes very similar to the way the caramel sauce bakes into the bread in this recipe.

D-E-L-I-S-H.

There are no words to describe how amazing this French Toast is. Baked in caramel sauce and filled with juicy blueberries, this make-ahead breakfast is flavor to the max!

I cut very thick slices of blueberry bread from the loaf I made last week for this overnight baked French toast. I fit 6 pieces into this 10×15 baking dish. Honestly, the slices are so thick and hearty, I would say that once slice makes a decent serving. But with the way that caramel soaked bread melts in your mouth, I could have probably eaten the entire pan myself, so… you’ll have to be your own judge of serving sizes here!

Over top of the bread goes an egg-y custard made with heavy cream, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla. The thick slices of bread soak it all up overnight like a sponge.

Now here comes the best part…

There are no words to describe how amazing this French Toast is. Baked in caramel sauce and filled with juicy blueberries, this make-ahead breakfast is flavor to the max!

Over top of the soaked bread slices, you pour a caramel-like sauce made of butter brown, brown sugar, and a little bit of corn syrup or a corn syrup substitute. As everything bakes together, the sauce saturates the bread and bubbles up all around creating a caramel sauce that replaces the syrup you would normally eat with french toast.

I never want to make French toast any other way ever again ????. Just saying.

There are no words to describe how amazing this French Toast is. Baked in caramel sauce and filled with juicy blueberries, this make-ahead breakfast is flavor to the max!

Just look at that bite!! Seriously. You are going to fall in love with this recipe. I can’t wait for you to try it!

And if you don’t feel like making blueberry bread– that’s ok. This recipe is still amazing with any kind of thick, hearty, crusty bread. And you can always make this sauce with blueberries to go over top!

Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the weekend?

I’m hoping to squeeze in a few mini photo sessions (did I tell you that I’ve started doing portrait photography? It’s so much fun!)

But before I can get to my weekend, I have to get through the Farm Days field trip with my daughter’s class…. ????.

Maybe even as you’re reading this, I’m likely trudging through animal mud with a baby strapped to my chest, a handful of kindergartners at my side, and sneezing my way through horse dust.

I am not an animal person. I know I just lost about half of you, but it’s the truth. I’m not. No, I don’t even like your cute puppy. I mean, I’m not going to kick it while you’re not looking or anything. But I’ll kind of pretend to sort of half pet it and then spend the rest of our conversation hoping your dog’s hair doesn’t make my eyes swell up or give me itchy hives up and down my arm.

I swear, I really am a nice person. I just don’t do the animal thing.

And I’m not really a kids-that-aren’t-mine person for that matter (ha! and I’m only barely a kids-who-are-mine kind of person!)

So basically, what I’m getting at is this. Farm Days with my daughter’s kindergarten class is my own personal version of parental hell. And I would so much rather be planted on the couch with a book and a warm loaf of this blueberry bread.

Just sayin. ????

Moving on….

This bread is so spring time to me! It’s sweet and fluffy and packed full of juicy blueberries. Remember back when I had a weird thing with the texture of blueberries and could only eat them from a can and in muffins?

Thank goodness this Berry Cheesecake Trifle came along and totally changed how I feel about fresh blueberries! Just think about all the yummy things I’d be missing out on ????.

This soft and moist blueberry quick bread can be mixed up so fast! Packed with blueberries and vanilla flavor.

This bread would be so good with a lemon glaze! But it’s also amazing on it’s own, smothered in butter, fresh and warm out of the oven with a glass of milk and a good book. It’s the perfect spring time, Saturday morning breakfast 🙂

I hope you spend at least part of this weekend curled up on the couch with a thick slice of Blueberry Bread. Enjoy!
