Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Fork or potato masher
- Whisk
- Loaf pan (9×5 inches)
- Spatula
- Knife or skewer (for swirling)
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda or 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Nutella slightly warmed to loosen
Instructions
Preheat the oven and prepare the pan
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or oil, or line it with parchment paper so the bread doesn’t stick.
Mix the wet ingredients
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Prepare the dry ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should look slightly lumpy.
Add the Nutella swirl
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the warmed Nutella over the top. Spread the remaining batter on top, then add the rest of the Nutella. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the Nutella into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake the bread
- Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps it hold its shape and makes cutting easier.
Notes
Notes: Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. Slightly warming Nutella makes it easier to swirl into the batter. You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
