Methods to Make Nutella Banana Bread

1. Step 1: Make the batter. Cream the butter and sugar till mixed, then stir within the mashed bananas. Add the eggs separately earlier than stirring within the bitter cream and vanilla. Put your mixer away at this level–you received’t want it anymore! In a separate bowl, whisk the dry elements collectively, then step by step fold them into the moist elements till the batter is simply mixed. Don’t over-mix!

2. Step 2: Add the Nutella filling. Pour half of the batter right into a greased or parchment lined bread pan, then drizzle ⅓ cup of Nutella overtop. Gently swirl the Nutella into the batter with a knife. Don’t be too vigorous along with your swirling; you continue to desire a distinct Nutella layer.

3. Step 3: Swirl/sugar the highest. Add the remaining batter, then drizzle the ultimate tablespoons of Nutella overtop. Swirl the Nutella into the batter along with your knife once more, then add a sprinkle of coarse sugar over every part (in the event you like!).

SAM’S TIP: A parchment sling makes eradicating your Nutella banana bread from its pan a breeze! I do that with every part from brownies (like my banana brownies) to Rice Krispie treats.
