Servings: 1 bread loaf
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup melted salted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup nutella
- 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts - optional
- 1/2 banana - sliced for top - optional
- Optional sprinkle of salt on top - I like a little extra salt in my baked goods so I just add a sprinkle on top but it isn't necessary.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash bananas with a whisk attachment or a fork until smooth.
- Add melted butter and blend together.
- Add brown sugar, sugar and vanilla to banana mixture and mix well.
- In another bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt and mix together.
- Add flour mixture to banana mixture followed by the milk and blend until batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Grease a bread pan or line bread pan with parchment paper.
- Pour batter into pan.
- Spoon nutella along the center of the loaf across the length wise distance of the pan.
- Sprinkle with hazelnuts and chopped banana if adding it.
- If you like a saltier bake, add a sprinkle of salt on top of loaf before you bake.
- Bake for roughly 1 hour and 10 minutes or until nutella center sinks and sides rise up and a toothpick can be inserted into the side bread part and comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing and enjoying.
