Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and fully line it with parchment paper.
- Make the Oreo streusel. Combine the 7 CRUSHED OREO COOKIES, 100 G ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR, 5.3 G BLACK COCOA POWDER, 47 G GRANULATED SUGAR, AND ¼ TEASPOON FINE SEA SALT.
- Work the 80 G COLD CUBED BUTTER into the Oreo mixture with your fingertips until irregular crumbs and some larger clusters form. Do not overwork the streusel. Refrigerate it while preparing the loaf batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 220 G GRANULATED SUGAR, 120 G NEUTRAL OIL, 200 G GREEK YOGURT, 160 G MILK, AND 2 TEASPOONS VANILLA BEAN PASTE until smooth.
- Add the 260 G ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR, 15 G CORNSTARCH, 15 G BLACK COCOA POWDER, 1¾ TEASPOONS BAKING POWDER, ¼ TEASPOON BAKING SODA, ¾ TEASPOON FINE SEA SALT, AND ⅛ TEASPOON GROUND NUTMEG.
- Whisk just until combined and no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Gently fold in the 13 ROUGHLY CRUSHED OREO COOKIES, including their filling.
- Spread half of the chocolate Oreo batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
- Scatter half of the chilled OREO STREUSEL over the batter, keeping it slightly away from the edges of the pan.
- Spoon the remaining chocolate batter over the streusel layer and gently spread it without disturbing the middle layer.
- Scatter the remaining Oreo streusel over the top and finish with a light sprinkling of COARSE SANDING SUGAR. Keep the loaf pan no more than three-quarters full.
- Bake for 30 MINUTES at 350°F (175°C), then loosely tent the loaf with foil.
- Continue baking and begin checking the loaf once it has baked for 60 MINUTES TOTAL. Depending on the oven, the loaf may require up to approximately 80 minutes.
- Check several spots near the center for doneness because the cookies and streusel can create uneven readings. A tester may have moist crumbs, but wet batter or a paste-like coating means the loaf needs more time. The creator’s loaf finished around 208°F internally and notes that 210–211°F can still produce a good result.
- Allow the baked loaf to cool in the pan for 20–30 MINUTES.
- Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before glazing.
- Make the vanilla bean glaze by whisking together the 220 G POWDERED SUGAR, 45 G MILK, ½ TEASPOON VANILLA BEAN PASTE, AND A PINCH OF FINE SEA SALT until smooth.
- Add additional milk gradually, up to 52 G TOTAL, as needed to create a thick but pourable glaze.
- Pour the VANILLA BEAN GLAZE generously over the completely cooled loaf, allowing it to naturally settle into the irregular Oreo streusel surface.
- Allow the glaze to set before slicing. Serve at room temperature, or chill completely for a firmer center.
