This is another tried and true recipe that will help you use up all of those finicky bananas that seem to go bad before you've had a chance to eat them! And, hey, it's got Nutella in it, so what's not to like?
Nutella Banana Swirl Bread
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 stick butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup ripe bananas, mashed (about 2 bananas)
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup Nutella
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, milk, and vanilla. Beat mixture until blended.
- Add flour mixture. Beat at low speed until flour is incorporated, making sure not to over mix.
- Spoon Nutella into a small dish and heat in microwave for 15 seconds. Add 1 cup of batter to the Nutella and stir until incorporated.
- Spoon 1/2 of batter into prepared pan, followed by 1/2 of Nutella batter, and repeat. Swirl batters together with a knife.
- Bake 60 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool for at least another 10 minutes.
Notes:
The Nutella swirls in the bread may seem slightly "gooey" in the center, but I've found that cooking it longer than stated above makes for a drier bread.
This bread is delicious as is, but if you are a "slatherer," you might want to try frosting your slice of bread with a little more Nutella or even peanut butter.
Just wondering if anybody has already made this recipe and what their opinion about the taste. Thank you
ReplyDeleteI just put a pan of this Nutella Banana in the oven a few minutes ago. I could not find my Nutella so I used Almond Butter instead. I can not wait for this to come out of the oven...ch'eri
