Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup (plus extra for swirling) Nutella
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until combined.
Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense texture.
Warm the Nutella slightly in the microwave (about 10-15 seconds) to make it easier to work with. Stir in 1/2 cup of Nutella into the batter, leaving streaks for a marbled effect.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop dollops of extra Nutella (about 3-4 tablespoons) on top of the batter and use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the top layer for a beautiful marbled design.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (tip: check in multiple spots to avoid hitting a pocket of Nutella).
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the soft, moist banana bread with Nutella swirls!
