Description

A deliciously moist banana bread swirled with Nutella, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) sugar (granulated or brown sugar)
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (150g) Nutella

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  4. Add sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well until combined, but do not overbeat.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no flour pockets remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Dollop half of the batter into the loaf pan. Spoon half the Nutella (about ¼ cup) in small blobs over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and finish with the rest of the Nutella.
  7. Swirl the Nutella through the batter gently using a knife or skewer to create marbled ribbons.
  8. Bake for 55-65 minutes, checking at 55 minutes. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool the banana bread in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Allow Nutella to warm slightly if it’s too firm. Keep an eye on the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
