Do you know what’s best when baking banana bread? The moment you open the oven and within a few moments, the whole kitchen smells like banana bread. Love it! The same will happen to you when baking this Nutella Swirled Banana Bread. On top your kitchen will also smell like warm Nutella… which is a good thing, right? ;)

“Everything gets better with some Nutella” – one of my favorite quotes. Who said that? Me :P I am not using Nutella as much as I did in the past because of the huge amount of sugar in the product, but for a cake or a banana bread like this one here I make an exemption. Sometimes you just have to enjoy what you have and not think about calories and sugar and all of that…
Making this banana bread is pretty easy. Everybody can do it. It’s basically just mashing the bananas and then mixing everything else together. Plus some Nutella. And “voilà” – Banana Bread. The only thing you have to keep in mind when adding the Nutella: do not mix like a crazy person. If you mix the batter and Nutella too much, you will end up with a brown Nutella batter – we want swirls and pockets of Nutella in the baked banana bread. The result will be so much better, believe me ;)

Well… now matter how many swirls you will make – the combination of Nutella and banana is fantastic. I really love it. When I was a kid I mixed banana with some Nutella and chocolate and ate that as a dessert. Nothing I would do today cause you know – too many calories – but I really loved it ;) Me not making that anymore does not mean you should not make it… I think you should try ;))
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup (120ml) milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup (150g) Nutella
120g geschmolzene Butter
200g brauner Zucker
2 Eier (M)
120ml Milch
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
390g Mehl (Type 550)
2 TL Backpulver
1 1/2 TL Natron
1 TL Salz
150g Nutella

DIRECTIONS / ANLEITUNG
2. Add the melted butter and brown sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one by one and mix well after each addition. Add milk and vanilla extract and mix in. Mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the bowl and mix until just combined. Add the mashed bananas and fold in. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth out the top. Add the Nutella on top. Use a spoon or spatula and fold the Nutella into the batter – do not mix a lot, you want to be able to see swirls of chocolate in the baked banana bread. Place in the center of the oven and bake about 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Take the banana bread out of the oven and let cool down in the baking tin for about 10 minutes, then remove carefully and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
2. Die zerlassene Butter und den Braunen Zucker in eine große Rührschüssel geben und aufschlagen, bis sich beides gut verbunden hat. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Milch und Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver, Natron und Salz in einer separaten Schüssel vermischen und dann zur großen Rührschüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die zerdrückten Bananen dazugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in die vorbereitete Form füllen und glatt streichen. Das Nutella auf den Teig geben und mit einem Löffel unter den Teig heben. Nicht zu sehr vermischen – man soll im Bananenbrot später Nutellastreifen erkennen können. In die Mitte des Ofens stellen und für etwa 50-55 Minuten backen. Mit einem Holzspieß teste, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und das Bananenbrot erst herausholen, wenn er sauber rauskommt. Das fertige Bananenbrot für etwa 10 Minuten in der Form abkühlen lassen, dann vorsichtig herauslösen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.
