Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups mashed ripe banana
- 1/3 cup buttermilk, milk, sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 9 x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda & salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add banana, milk and vanilla. Mix until blended.
- Add flour mixture, beat at low speed just until flour is incorporated but DO NOT OVERMIX!
- Spoon Nutella into a small dish and soften in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Add 1 cup of the banana bread batter to the Nutella and stir until blended well. Spoon Nutella batter alternately with plain banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Swirl batters together with a knife.
- Bake 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. Cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
