Nutella Banana Bread

Simply delicious.

Banana bread has always been a favourite of mine, it's so simple yet so yummy. 

But, the addition of Nutella takes your average banana bread to the next level. 

Take my word for it, I promise it won't let you down.

Before you start-

Make sure you use very ripe bananas, green bananas don't work.

I doubled the recipe to make two large loafs, however you can making mini loaves works well and is a good way to keep the cake perfectly moist.

Ready, set, cook.

Recipe adapted from hungrybrownie

You will need:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

- 3/4 cups sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed

- 1/4 cup plain yogurt

- 2 large eggs, beaten

- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

- 1 cup chocolate chips, milk/white 

- 1/2 cup Nutella

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or 4 mini loaf pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas with the yogurt, eggs, butter and vanilla extract. 

Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until well incorporated. 

Once mixed, stir in the chocolate chips to the mixture. 

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the Nutella for about 20 seconds or until softened.

Divide half of the banana batter among the prepared loaf pans. 

Spoon some Nutella batter over the banana batter, swirling them together with a knife. 

Repeat the process by evenly dividing the banana batter and nutella batter among the loaf pans. Add more Nutella on top if necessary.

Bake for about 60 minutes if baking in a large rectangular tin. Mini loaves will only need half the time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, excluding the hot melted nutella.

Cool completely before slicing and serving - enjoy!
