Indulge in the irresistible combination of rich Nutella and sweet banana in this delectable Nutella Swirled Banana Bread. It's a perfect treat for chocolate lovers and a great way to use up ripe bananas.
Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, mashed. 1/2 cup Nutella. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional. Cooking spray for greasing the pan.
Instructions: Set the oven temperature to 175C 350F. Apply cooking spray to a 9x5-inch loaf pan to grease it. Beat the egg, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, melted butter, and mashed bananas together in a mixing bowl. Blend until completely smooth. Incorporate the baking soda, flour, and salt into the mixture of bananas. Mix until barely incorporated. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips. Fill the loaf pan with half of the banana bread batter. For about 20 seconds, reheat the Nutella in the microwave until it becomes slightly liquefied. Pour half of the Nutella over the pan's batter. Nutella and the remaining banana bread batter should be layered again. To create a marbled effect, mix the Nutella into the batter using a knife or skewer. Bake for 5060 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, in a preheated oven. After 10 minutes of cooling in the pan, move the Nutella Swirled Banana Bread to a wire rack to finish cooling. Cut, present, and savor!
