Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 9×5 inch loaf pan
- Spatula
- Knife (for slicing bananas)
- Oven (for baking)
Ingredients
- 5 very ripe large bananas or 6-7 small bananas
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Nutella or more, based on preference
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mash the very ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth with some lumps.
- In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently swirl in the Nutella into the batter. You can either fold it into the batter completely or leave some streaks for a more marbled effect.
- Pour the banana-Nutella batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the banana bread and enjoy this indulgent treat!
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.
