I love Nutella. Anything that can make chocolate acceptable for breakfast is a win in my book. In younger (higher metabolism) days I often ate a banana with a spoon of Nutella with each bite! That combo lead me to the idea for Nutella banana bread.
⭐ Nutella Makes Everything Better
Plain banana bread is good too but why not add chocolatey swirls of deliciousness throughout? Essentially you can use any banana bread recipe with this concept. But this particular recipe yields a delicious moist and flavorful bread with a little chocolate in each bite. What's not to love?
📖 Recipe
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 saute pan
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 bananas
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup greek yogurt, plain
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray 9X5 loaf pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Brown butter: place butter in a small saute pan over medium/high heat. Cook and stir occasionally until the butter turns a deep golden brown color and smells nutty. Let this cool slightly before transferring to a mixing bowl.
- Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- Combine melted brown butter, mashed bananas, sugar, yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl.
- Add flour mixture to wet ingredients and fold gently just until combined. Do not over mix or your bread will be tough.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with half of the Nutella swirling with knife for toothpick to lightly incorporate. Add the remaining batter and spread evenly. Top with the remaining Nutella and lightly swirl with knife or toothpick. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes. I always start testing with a toothpick 5-10 minutes before the full baking time because every oven is different. Your bread is finished when a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs. If you cook until your toothpick comes out totally clean, you've likely overcooked your bread.
