A deliciously moist banana bread swirled with Nutella, perfect for a quick snack or dessert using ripe bananas.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas, mashed The bananas should be very ripe.
- 1/3 cup melted butter Can substitute with neutral oil.
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar Can reduce to 1/2 cup if desired.
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Nutella Should be melted for easier swirling.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, mix the mashed bananas with the melted butter.
- Stir in the baking soda and salt. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract.
- Finally, mix in the flour until just incorporated.
Swirling and Baking
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Spoon half of the Nutella over the batter and use a knife to lightly swirl it into the batter.
- Repeat with the remaining batter and Nutella.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not over-swirl the Nutella; just two or three lazy figure-eights with a butter knife is sufficient. If needed, microwave the Nutella briefly to loosen it up.
