Nutella Swirl Banana Bread

Nutella Swirl Banana Bread is a rich banana bread with ribbons of Nutella running through each slice.
Pro Tip
Use bananas that are slightly overripe and covered in brown spots. As bananas ripen, their starch gets converted to sugar, making for a sweeter and more flavorful addition to this bread.
Substitutions
No sour cream? Use an equal amount of Greek yogurt instead.

Rich banana bread with ribbons of Nutella running through each slice.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) butter, softened

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 3/4 cups flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 3 very ripe bananas, pureed

  • 3/4 cup Nutella

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in eggs, one at a time, then vanilla and sour cream.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Puree bananas in a small food processor or mash with a fork in a separate bowl. Add bananas to the batter and stir until well incorporated.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the Nutella in 8 rounded teaspoons on top and swirl with a knife or toothpick. Pour the remaining batter on top then add the remaining Nutella in 8 rounded teaspoons and swirl.
  • Bake for 60-65 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for at least 15 minutes before turning out on a wire cooling rack.

  • Cover in plastic wrap and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
