Banana nutella loaf

This banana Nutella loaf is banana bread’s most indulgent version yet. Ripe banana batter with thick ribbons of Nutella swirled throughout — it bakes up beautifully marbled, moist, and rich in a way that makes it feel closer to dessert than breakfast, even though it’s perfectly acceptable at both. It’s the kind of loaf that makes you look like a baking star with minimal effort, and it goes fast in any household. Make it when you have bananas that are past their prime and watch it become everyone’s favorite thing you’ve ever baked.

• Swap: Use any chocolate-hazelnut spread or substitute with peanut butter swirled in for a different but equally delicious result.
• Make-ahead: Bake the day before — the Nutella swirl settles and intensifies overnight, making day-two slices even better.
• Storage: Store wrapped at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week; freeze slices individually for up to 2 months.
• Variation: Add a handful of chopped hazelnuts to the batter for crunch that complements the Nutella filling perfectly.
• Serving: Toast a slice lightly and add a thin smear of extra Nutella for a breakfast that feels like a true indulgence.

Once again I had some ripe banana’s sitting on my counter.. funny story, I was hosting a Christmas party and my “ripe” banana’s became topic of discussion. A few people were saying how gross the ripe banana’s looked and should of been disposed days ago, I then learned these same people like to eat their banana’s green, yuck! Green banana’s to me do not taste good and the texture is just all sorts of wrong 😉 But each to their own I guess… anyway I took my ripe banana’s and made this delicious banana nutella loaf..Probably the most decadent loaf I have made, it’s 6 smart points a slice (or 4pp) but it is so worth it! 🙂
