A moist and indulgent banana bread with swirls of Nutella, perfect for a comforting treat that’s easy to make and delightful to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (150g) Nutella
  • ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth but with a few small lumps remaining.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt if using.
  5. Stir in the mashed bananas until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop spoonfuls of Nutella evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top.
  9. Using a butter knife or skewer, gently swirl the Nutella through the batter in a figure-eight motion to create ribbons.
  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor. Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender. Swirl Nutella gently to create ribbons without fully blending. Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid messy slices. Tent with foil if the top browns too quickly.
