NUTELLA BANANA BREAD




Nutella banana bread is a delicious twist on the classic banana bread recipe, adding the irresistible flavor of Nutella. Here's a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or more, if desired)
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) for extra crunch

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter or oil, beaten egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.

3. Add dry ingredients: Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.

4. Add Nutella swirl: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop spoonfuls of Nutella over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the Nutella into the batter. Be careful not to overmix; you want distinct swirls of Nutella throughout the bread.

5. Add nuts (optional): If you're using chopped nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the Nutella swirl.

6. Top with remaining batter: Pour the remaining banana bread batter over the Nutella swirl and smooth the top with a spatula.

7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious Nutella banana bread warm or at room temperature!

This Nutella banana bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet treat any time of the day. Feel free to customize it by adding chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or other mix-ins of your choice!
