Oreo Banana Bread

If you’ve got some bananas on the counter that are starting to over ripen, this is the recipe for you. Indulgent enough to be considered dessert (especially topped with a large scoop of cookies and cream!) …but it’s got bananas in there, so it totally qualifies as breakfast if we want it to. A couple of bites for a snack topped with peanut butter is my favorite way to scarf this one down. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 cup sugar 1 egg 1 1/2 cups flour 1/4 cup melted butter 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 3 over ripe bananas 6 Oreos, crushed

For crumble topping: 8 Oreos, crushed 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup flour

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mash banana with fork. Stir in remaining ingredients.

For crumble topping mix all ingredients until coarse mixture forms and sprinkle on top of loaf prior to baking.

Bake in buttered or parchment lined loaf pan for 1 hour.
