Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Servings 8 squares

Ingredients

  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 120 g Butter browned
  • 30 g oil
  • 200 g soft brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 200 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 50 g Oreo Cookies
  • 100 g white chocolate chips
  • 90 g White Chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 170°C fan and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
  • Brown the butter by melting it in a saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and smells deliciously nutty. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Mash the bananas in a large bowl. I used a food processor because I prefer a completely smooth banana bread with no lumps.
  • Add the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, browned butter and oil. Mix until everything is well combined.
  • Fold in the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir only until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can make the banana bread dense and heavy.
  • Fold through half of the crushed Oreo cookies and the white chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared loaf tin and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Leave the banana bread to cool in the tin for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before decorating.
  • Melt the white chocolate and stir through some crushed Oreo cookies. Pour the mixture over the cooled banana bread.
  • Scatter over the remaining Oreo cookies for extra crunch and decoration.
  • Slice, serve and enjoy.
