Peanut Butter Oreo Banana Bread Recipe posted by Staff Writer Pin Share Tweet Email Jump to RecipeSuper moist banana bread with triple the peanut butter and an Oreo ganache on top. 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. 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! ???? 🍌🍌🍌 CHECK OUT more of our favorite Banana Bread Recipes 🍌🍌🍌 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! Enjoy!

Your version and Carrian’s version have me DROOLING over here. Like, it is kind of embarrassing. I am now staring at my bananas on the counter willing them with my eyes to ripen faster so I can make this bread!
Oh my goodess! I love banana bread and you just took to of my favorite things and put it over the top. I have to try this out. 🙂
This sounds amazing. I’ve only made plain banana bread, no experimenting. I’ll have to change that by adding these flavors.
Holy moly!! That is some amazing looking banana bread you have there! I really really need to make this. I am loving it!
I bet this is kind of like when you dip an Oreo into peanut butter and eat it (not that I’ve ever done that…), but even better !
This is probably one of the best banana breads I have ever seen! I know what I’ll be doing with my overripe bananas this week!
What?!?!?!? This is total divine inspiration in Banana Bread! I am off to check out that Biscoff oreo spread!
The crunchy chocolate oreo on top of the peanut butter and banana sounds like heaven! To think that for years I thought oreos were just cookies to be dipped in milk! What limited thinking. Thank goodness for my new found baking knowledge. 🙂
Two of my favorites in one glorious banana bread!!! I’m thinking no one in my house needs to know about this bread when I make it. Now who’s a piggy 😉 Love it!!!
This looks absolutely amazing! I never put oreos together with banana, let alone peanut butter. The combination has me crazy interested. I made a really good banana bread the other day and it made me want to make a loaf every week. Definitely going to give this a shot when I have oreos laying around.
I’ve saved Carrian’s recipe to make when I have overripe bananas and now, after seeing yours I have no otehr choice than to make both versions. Would love if you link this recipe to this month #bakeyourownbread round-up http://www.roxanashomebaking.com/chocolate-buttermilk-bread-recipe/ (scroll to the bttom of the page) Thanks!
Made this yesterday ! Was really good but i would of added more bananas and would not use the food processor for the oreos in the batter so it can taste more !!! But if not it was very good 🙂 thank you for this great post
