Banana Bread And Nutella Recipe
The Banana Bread and Nutella recipe combines ripe bananas with a moist, fluffy bread base. Nutella is swirled through the batter, creating pockets of rich chocolate-hazelnut flavor. This delicious twist on classic banana bread offers a perfect balance of sweetness, making it an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (large and medium)
- Fork or potato masher (for bananas)
- Whisk or electric hand mixer
- Rubber spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Loaf pan (9×5 inch recommended)
- Toothpick or skewer (for testing doneness)
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing pan)
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup 120 ml unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup 100 g granulated sugar
- 1½ cups 190 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup 225 g Nutella (softened or lightly melted for easier swirling)
Instructions
- Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it can heat up while you prepare the batter. Lightly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and set it aside.
- Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, with no noticeable lumps. A fork or potato masher works well for this.
- To the mashed bananas, add melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and sugar. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined—avoid over mixing to keep the bread tender.
- Pour half of the batter into your prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella (softened for easy swirling) over the batter, using about half.
- Gently swirl the Nutella into the batter with a skewer or knife. Add the rest of the batter on top and repeat the swirling with the remaining Nutella for a marbled finish.
- Place the loaf in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean—a little melted Nutella on it is fine.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice and enjoy.
Notes
➤ Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. The blacker the skin, the better!
➤ Nutella Options: If you’re a Nutella fanatic, feel free to increase the amount of Nutella for an extra indulgent experience. You could even spread a little extra on top before serving for that extra chocolatey goodness.
➤ Storage: Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want it to last longer, you can freeze individual slices. Just wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
