Nutella Banana Bread step by step

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F;.
  2. Mash bananas in a bowl. Optionally, I like to add a little reduced sugar and water to sweeten the bananas when they're not too ripe;.
  3. Mix in softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs and mix until everything is combined;.
  4. Add in flour and mix until everything's combined. You should have a lumpy, doughy batter;.
  5. Add Nutella and swirl until combined. You can either fully combine it or try to give it a slightly marbled effect;.
  6. Pour mixture into a buttered baking dish (lather the whole pan to prevent sticking), ideally one that's long and tall (9x5), give it a few taps on a hard surface to let the air out and make it uniform then put it in the oven;.
  7. Bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes. Check by sticking a knife or skewer from top to bottom. If it comes out clean, it's ready. Note that it may not be completely clean because it's very moist. I wouldn't suggest leaving it longer than 55 minutes or it'll burn the perimiter;.
  8. Let the bread cool on the counter before serving. Tastes great warm or cold..
