Banana Nutella Bread | Banana Bread Recipe | Barbara Bakes (1)

Nearly every day on our recent trip to Australia I had crumpets with Nutella for breakfast. Since we got home I’ve avoided buying Nutella knowing how many calories it had. But when I saw Anne’s recipe for Banana Nutella Muffins, I decided I definitely needed to try it. And I’m so glad I did! (Be sure and visit Anne’s blog to see her gorgeous muffins.)

I decided to make three mini loafs instead of muffins. I also decided to use our favorite Cooking Light banana bread recipe, which has less fat and a lot less sugar than Anne’s recipe. Anne’s recipe called for brown sugar, so I substituted brown sugar for the granulated sugar. The brown sugar complemented the wonderful Nutella swirl.

Not only were these loaves delicious, they were so pretty I immediately starting thinking of people I should give a loaf. I’ll definitely be making this again. If you’re a Nutella lover you’ll definitely love this bread!

Hi Barbara. I baked this today and I’d like to let you know that I followed the recipe as is except for the baking time. In my oven, it was baked and ready in 50 minutes and my oven is quite accurate. Thanks for the recipe.

  Thanks for the feedback Ela. This is a great example of why it’s important not to just rely on cooking times when baking.

  Hi Alex – That’s too bad. This is one recipe that we make all the time and it turns out perfectly consistently. I’m happy to help you trouble shoot the problem if you’d like. Did you make changes?

This sounds amazing! Can you make it as a full size loaf or do you suppose it will fall apart?

  Yes you can make a full size loaf. Just bake it for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Good luck! This is a great one!
