Nutella Banana Bread
Description
Nutella Banana Bread blends mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and sour cream to achieve moistness, complemented by a hint of cinnamon and vanilla extract. The loaf is gently marbled with Nutella, which is heated briefly to soften before swirling into the batter. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour produces a golden crust with a tender crumb dotted with pockets of creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread. The sugars help achieve a balanced sweetness and browning during baking.
The bread is best served sliced once cooled, making for a convenient breakfast option or an afternoon snack with coffee or tea. The soft texture with occasional Nutella ribbons provides pleasant contrast and richness.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large egg
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 1/4 cups banana well mashed, about 3 medium bananas
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper 'sling' for easy removal.
- In a large bowl whisk together the oil, eggs, and sour cream until lump free.
- Whisk in the sugars, mashed banana, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Then fold in the flour.
- Briefly heat the Nutella in a small bowl in the microwave for about 20 seconds, or until just loosened.
- Add half your batter to the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half the Nutella over the batter. Gently swirl with a knife or chopstick.
- Add the remaining batter to the pan. Dollop the remaining Nutella over the top. Swirl again.
- Bake the bread for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it (moist crumbs are fine.) Note: if your bread seems to be browning too quickly, lay a loose piece of foil over the top towards the end of baking. Let cool before slicing.
