nutella banana bread

I came across a similar recipe for muffins at the beginning of this quarantine craziness but it was daunting making a huge batch of muffins when Andrew isn’t really even into banana. And well, Annabelle and I can only take so many carbs…ok, I am only talking about me here.

I decided to bring a loaf to a friend and tweaked a couple of the steps to make it simple and only 2 bowls (HOW MANY DISHES ARE WE DOING IN QUARANTINE? AMIRIGHT?) needed. You can whip this up in less than 15 mins and have a piece in hand in less than an hour and a half. HEAV - EN. Banana and Nutella are basically bff’s that go together like no other.

Needless to say, my friend said it was a hit with the whole family and I had to recreate for my sister in town this weekend, enjoy friends! It’s a good one!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed

• 1 cup white sugar 

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup melted butter 

• 1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda 

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup nutella spread

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

• Combine bananas, sugar, egg, and butter together in a bowl. Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl; stir into banana mixture until batter is just mixed. Stir salt into batter. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

• Spread a thick layer of nutella across length of the batter.

• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 1 hour, 15 mins.

• I recommend waiting at LEAST 20 mins to dive in, it’s hot as heck and it get crumbly if cut into too early!

Devour gladly!
