Nutella Banana Bread

Nutella banana bread combines a tender, moist banana bread with rich chocolate hazelnut spread. It’s as easy as making banana bread but with a Nutella twist.

I like to make quick breads because they’re so easy and this Nutella banana bread combines two of my favorite things: tender banana bread with my favorite chocolate hazelnut spread.

I had a few overripe bananas on hand so the timing was perfect to give this bread a try. Normally I don’t like the sight of overripe fruit, but when it’s bananas, I get excited because it means I can make banana bread.

I love how this Nutella banana bread turned out. Instead of mixing the Nutella completely into the batter, I created a swirl effect so when you slice the bread you see both the banana bread and Nutella.

How to Make Nutella Banana Bread

I love making quick breads because they’re so easy! This recipe takes a classic banana bread and adds a rich Nutella swirl. It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations.

• This recipe makes two 7 x 3” loaves. You can either grease the pans or line them with parchment paper to make it easy to remove the baked loaves.
• You start by creaming butter and sugar together until they are smooth.
• This recipe includes sour cream which gives the bread a subtle tangy flavor. Add it to the creamed butter and sugar along with the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon.
• Add the flour, salt, and baking soda and stir until just combined. You don’t want to over mix the batter otherwise your bread will be tough.
• Pour the batter into the pans and you’re ready to create the Nutella swirl.

Nutella Swirl

Once the batter is in the pans you can create the Nutella Swirl. All you do is drop a few tablespoons of Nutella on the batter. Use a knife to swirl the Nutella into the batter. I only do this a few times otherwise you risk mixing the Nutella all the way into the batter and you won’t get the swirled effect.

Bake the loaves for about an hour at 300°F. Once they’re cooled you can slice them and see the beautiful Nutella swirl inside.

Storing the Bread

• You can keep the Nutella banana bread at room temperature. Tightly wrap the loaves and they will keep well for two to three days. Or you can pop them in the fridge and they will keep up to a week.
• You can also freeze the loaves. Tightly wrap them and place them in a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months. To thaw, just leave them at room temperature for a few hours.
