Nutella is swirled right into this moist and luscious Nutella Swirled Banana Bread for an amazing flavor merger of banana and chocolate hazelnut.
The 23rd of February was National Banana Bread day. Although I ended up not having time to make this scrumptious Nutella swirled banana bread until the next day, I still wanted to honor the “holiday” and was pleased to find some frozen bananas in my freezer.
For this recipe I started with my basic banana bread recipe, with only one or two minor changes, and then of course I decided to add some Nutella to the mixture. The Nutella flavor was very subtle in bread, if you want it stronger try adding just a little bit more to the mix. Or if you’re not a fan of Nutella try adding melted chocolate chips instead for a wonderful chocolate swirled banana bread. Next time I think I’m going to try peanut butter!
