Banana Bread Nutella

1Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

2Banana Bread Batter In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter (⅓ cup). Stir in the sugar (1 cup), beaten egg (1), and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) until well mixed. Add the baking soda (1 teaspoon), salt (Pinch), and flour. Stir until just combined, do not overmix.

3Nutella (¼ cup) Swirl In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the Nutella (¼ cup) for about 20 seconds to soften it for swirling.

4Assembly Pour half of the banana bread batter into the greased loaf pan. Drizzle half of the softened Nutella (¼ cup) over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the Nutella (¼ cup). Use a knife to swirl the Nutella (¼ cup) through the batter to create a marbled effect.

5Baking Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6Cooling Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
