Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup melted butter or oil
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking during baking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the mashed bananas, melted butter or oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until combined to avoid overmixing, which keeps the bread tender.
- Layer Batter and Nutella: Pour half of the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the Nutella over this layer and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
- Add Remaining Batter and Swirl: Pour the remaining batter over the Nutella layer and swirl gently again to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing to ensure clean cuts and preserve texture.
Notes
- Warming Nutella slightly makes it easier to swirl and incorporate into the batter.
- Adding chocolate chips can enhance the richness and add texture to the bread.
