Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, then mix in the baking soda and salt.
- Add Sugar and Egg: Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Incorporate Flour: Add the flour and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Add Nutella: Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon half of the Nutella over the batter and swirl it gently with a knife. Pour the remaining batter on top and add the rest of the Nutella, swirling again.
- Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
