How to Make Nutella Banana Bread

This Nutella banana bread recipe is prepped and ready in just 10 minutes! Then, let the oven do the rest of the work. The hardest part about making this is waiting for it to bake and cool! Here’s how to layer the batter and Nutella for the most delicious quick bread:

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with pan spray and set aside.
2. Combine Ingredients: Mix the banana, baking soda, oil, sugar, eggs, salt, and flour in a large bowl until combined.
3. Layer Nutella: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Heat the Nutella in a small bowl for 20-30 seconds, until it is very soft, almost liquid. Drizzle half of the Nutella over the batter in the pan in zigzags and then top it with the remaining batter.
4. Finish Layering: Drizzle the rest of the Nutella over the top of the batter in lines. Use a knife to swirl the Nutella into the banana batter, going up and down the length of the pan a few times. Be sure the knife goes down to the bottom of the pan so the middle layer of Nutella gets swirled as well!
5. Bake and Cool: Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Let the bread cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
