Nutella Banana Bread

Nutella and Banana bread? I was a bit skeptical, but oh my goodness — this is amazing!  This simple quick recipe takes only a few minutes to whip together and makes amazing gifts for friends and family.

Every year for the past six years, a group of friends of mine has gotten together for a cookie exchange in early December.  I usually bring a sweet treat. Last year I made some chocolate dipped pretzels but this year I packaged up some Slow Cooker Chex Mix for something different.

One of my friends, Kim, always brings mini-loaves of banana bread (<– that’s her recipe!).   She makes the best banana bread!  This year she told she was going to bring Nutella Banana Bread.  I pretty much dismissed the idea because it just didn’t sound good to me. I like Nutella and I like banana bread, but together?  No thanks!  Then Kim texted me that this was the best banana bread she’d ever made.  I still had my doubts … until I tasted the Nutella Banana Bread.

This bread is heaven.  Pure deliciousness.  You can make one large loaf or bake in to mini-loaves.    Kim baked these into small loaf pans from Michaels and then packaged them up with plastic bags and ribbon for a beautiful little gift.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup butter softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1¼ cup mashed bananas
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ⅓ cup milk
• About ¾ heaping cup Nutella

Instructions

1. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and use a whisk to thoroughly combine.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and sugar.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, incorporating completely.
4. Add bananas, vanilla and milk to the mixer bowl and beat until well mixed.
5. Add flour mixture and mix just until incorporated.
6. Scoop out around ¾ cup Nutella into a small pan. You don't have to be exact with the measurement. Heat over low heat on the stove. Remove to a small bowl.
7. Add 1 cup banana bread mixture to the Nutella and stir to mix.
8. Prepare one large loaf pan or four mini-loaf pans by greasing well.
9. Fill loaf pans by alternating banana bread mixture with Nutella mixture.
10. Use a knife to swirl the batters together.
11. Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes for a large loaf, less for mini-loaves.
12. Let the loaves cool for about 15 minutes before removing from loaf pans, if you are removing them.
