Nutella Banana Bread

This banana bread is a comfort for our household! We are all about using as much of the food we can in our pantry and fridge, and bananas are always first to ripe, so banana bread is good, but we want to always be excited to eat it. As if it's a dessert we're excited to grab. Originally based off a Tasty recipe, we've been modifying it to make it work with Nutella too—because sometimes, banana bread is better when it's warm out of the oven and every bite is mixed with oozing warm chocolate.

My favorite way to enjoy banana bread!

Ingredients:

• 3 ripe bananas

• ⅓ cup melted butter

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 1 egg, beaten

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp, salt

• 1 ½ cup flour

• ½ cup chocolate chips

• ⅓ cup Nutella

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F

2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.

3. Add sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, flour and stir until batter is smooth and runny.

4. Mix in the chocolate chips.

5. In a well greased loaf pan, add half the batter, then dollop half Nutella into corners and center. Using a butter knife, carefully make swirls around the loaf pan. (Do not over mix). Repeat with remaining batter and remaining Nutella.

6. Bake the banana bread for 50 minutes in the oven.

7. Cool for 10 minutes and serve while hot, or wait to cool completely. Enjoy!
