Might be worth asking in a dedicated audiobook hunting forum or subreddit. Those folks are savants at tracking down obscure recordings. Someone might know if it was a limited release on some now-defunct platform, or if a narrator mentioned it in a blog post. I've had luck that way finding old radio play versions of books I thought were lost. Otherwise, I'm leaning toward it not being produced. Some things are just print-only.
First thought: Audible. No doubt. It's a weirdly obscure title, but the parent company is so massive, their exclusives library has some deep cuts. Searching directly in the app and on their web store has pulled up things for me I never thought would be available. You might get lucky if it's a niche publisher title that signed a deal with them. I'd definitely start there. Not everything shows up in Google searches because of those walled gardens.
That said, the publisher might have their own storefront. Sometimes you can buy the audiobook directly from a publisher's website, and they often bundle formats. I'd check the copyright page of the digital book or the publisher's social media. If 'Ninjabread Man' is based on something like a mobile game or a YouTube series, that original creator's merch store might have it. Worth a few minutes of digging. I found the audiobook for 'Dragon's Debt' that way last year; it wasn't anywhere else.
One last angle: libraries. Hoopla and Libby sometimes carry bizarre stuff that commercial platforms skip, especially if it's a children's book. If it's a short kids' title, it might be in the children's audiobook section, which is a separate category in those apps. You need a library card, of course, but if your library subscribes, you can stream it free. The selection is totally random but occasionally brilliant.
Honestly, I'm not sure if an audiobook for that even exists. I know the character from those old flash games and memes, but a full book? If it does, it's probably a short kids' read-aloud thing. You'd have to check the usual suspects: Audible, Apple Books, Google Play. Maybe Spotify's audiobook section now? They've been adding tons of stuff.
I think your bigger hurdle is the title itself—it's so specific and kind of a joke property that it might not have gotten a professional narration. Could be a fan-made thing on YouTube? I've seen people do dramatic readings of weird internet stuff. You might stumble on it there if you search the full title plus "audiobook". Quality would be a gamble, but sometimes those are fun. I wouldn't hold my breath for a polished studio production, though.
It's a long shot. I remember the Ninjabread Man as a silly video game character from like 2005. If someone published a book about it, it was likely a cheap tie-in for very young readers. Those kinds of titles often get overlooked for audiobook production because the market is tiny. The cost of hiring a narrator and engineer probably doesn't make sense for the publisher unless it's part of a huge series.
Your best hope is probably a digital audio file bundled with an e-book purchase from a place like Amazon, where it's a "Read and Listen" deal. Sometimes those aren't listed as standalone audiobooks. Go to the Kindle page for 'Ninjabread Man' and see if there's an "Add Audible narration" button. That's how I got the audio for 'The Zombie Who Lost His Moe'—it wasn't searchable as audio alone. Failing that, it might just not exist in that format, which is a shame because a dramatic reading of a gingerbread ninja could be hilarious.
I checked because this sounded like a deep cut. Couldn't find it on Audible US or UK stores. Searched on Google Play Books and Kobo—nothing. It might be region-locked or only available in a specific country's marketplace. Have you tried changing your store region in your account settings? Sometimes I find UK-exclusive audiobooks that way. Also, if it's a children's title, sometimes they sell it as a physical CD with a picture book from a specialty online toy shop. Those never make it to digital.

"I'm more of a man in this house. Why can't you let me be on top?" Sean asked with a pout.
Oswin groaned, rolling his eyes and wondering just how much more innocent Sean could be. "It takes a heavy responsibility to be the top," he replied.
"Responsibility? Then it's perfect. I'm making more money, cooking,..."
"Sean. I'm talking about things like stretching and penetrating," Oswin explained as he ignored the bulge in his pants. "Do you even have experience?”
“Then teach me, your majesty.”
“With pleasure.”

P.S:
1) This book contains mature and explicit 18+ scenes.
2) It also contains little graphic violence in some chapters, but I'll put a warning on the top of those chapters.
3) The ELF here is inspired by Lord of The Ring Series. Therefore, they are tall, slender and beautiful. Not tiny little beings like in children fairy tales.]

While studying abroad, I move into a shared apartment. Not a single day goes by without my housemate, Stuart Harper, calling himself some variation of a sweet, brave, and responsible guy.
On the very first day he moves in, he hires workers to take out the insulation from the walls. I confront him about it, but he simply grins at me and proudly boasts about his decision.
"That was all just some shoddy foam that the construction workers padded the walls with. Not only was it useless, but it was even taking up so much space. The fact that I forked out my own money to get rid of it proves that I'm such a sweet and responsible guy!"
With a scowl on my face, I explain to Stuart the purpose of having proper insulation. He immediately leans in close with an admiring gaze.
"I'm so sorry. I had no idea! I just wanted to do something nice for us. What should I do now? You have to help me think of something!"
I naively assume Stuart just lacks common sense and doesn't act with malice. Thus, I willingly enter into a cycle of always cleaning up after his messes.
One day, I get a fever. He ends up buying a secondhand electric slow cooker and declares he's going to take care of me by cooking me soup.
My head throbs as I quickly put a stop to his attempt to heat the electric slow cooker on the induction stove. I tell him to let me catch a nap before I teach him how to cook later.
But not long after I fall asleep, he secretly sticks the electric slow cooker into the microwave to heat it up.
The microwave explodes. As the flames start to spread, Stuart screams and dashes out of the apartment at once.
The fire alarm wakes me up. I try to evacuate the burning building, only to find that Stuart has locked the door from the outside. In the end, the fire burns me to a crisp.
After that, however, he starts twisting things around. He goes online and says with a helpless expression, "My housemate set the apartment on fire while cooking. I'm the one who had to call the fire department on his behalf, and I even had to compensate the landlord for him. I'm definitely the sweetest, bravest, and most responsible guy to ever live!"
As the online community proceeds to condemn me, Stuart uses the attention and publicity to go viral as a content creator.
Some time later, my eyes open again. This time, I'm going to roast him good.
If you're wondering whether there's an audiobook version of 'Ninjabread Man', here's what I dug into and what I'd try next.
I checked the major audiobook storefronts in my head first — Audible, Google Play Books, Apple Books — and if the title is the indie or game-related 'Ninjabread Man' I was thinking of, there doesn't seem to be a well-known commercial audiobook release. That said, smaller children's books or self-published titles with similar names sometimes slip onto platforms like Kobo or smaller publishers' sites without wide promotion. When a book is obscure, the fastest way to confirm is to search by the exact book title plus the author name or ISBN; searching only the title can bring up a game, a fan comic, or unrelated results.
If you want to be thorough: check your library's OverDrive/Libby and Hoopla catalogs (libraries sometimes license niche audiobooks), try WorldCat to see any library holdings, and peek at the publisher's website or the author's social pages. If you find an ebook but no audio, using a quality text-to-speech reader or contacting the author/publisher to ask about an audio edition can actually move things along. Personally, I once convinced a small press to consider audio by emailing them — so it's worth a shot if this title matters to you.
Oh man, hunting down audiobooks is my little obsession, and 'The Ninjabread Man' had me doing a proper scavenger hunt.
I couldn't find a widely distributed, official audiobook edition under that exact title on the usual storefronts I check — Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, or the big library apps like Libby and Hoopla. That doesn't 100% rule one out (there are indie or regional releases that slip under the radar), but after searching author names, ISBNs, and variant titles, nothing definitive popped up for a commercial audiobook release.
If you really want it in audio form, here are the options I'd try next: double-check the exact title and author (kids' picture-book titles sometimes change slightly), search WorldCat and your local library catalog, and peek at the publisher's website — small presses sometimes sell direct or announce audio plans. You can also look for read-alouds on YouTube or Storyline-like channels (official or school/classroom uploads), or use a high-quality text-to-speech app for personal listening. If it’s a younger reader’s book, narrators often do video read-alongs that are surprisingly charming.
If none of that works, try messaging the publisher or the author on social media — creators sometimes coordinate independent audio projects if there's enough demand. I’d love to see an audiobook exist for a title with a name that fun, so I might pester the publisher too.
