Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
18 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
1 tablespoon sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for moisture)
Extra Oreo cookies for topping
Instructions
1. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3. Mix in the vanilla extract and optional sour cream.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the crushed Oreos gently with a rubber spatula, reserving some for the top.
7. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, pour in the batter, and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining Oreos on top.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55–65 minutes, tenting with foil if browning too quickly.
9. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Don’t overmix the batter after adding Oreos to maintain the marbled effect.
Line the loaf pan with parchment for easy removal and cleaner edges.
Slightly warming slices before serving makes the Oreo bits taste freshly baked.
