While making a Banana loaf I spotted a jar of Nutella on the side and thought, why don’t I add a little (generous amount) to the loaf?! You know, just to sweeten things up a little.
I don’t know about you but I absolutely adore Nutella! It’s a guilty pleasure of mine! Shh! Don’t tell anyone!
Well, it was a genius idea, if I do say so myself!
It turned out to make a beautiful marbled effect. And I have to say, it turned out nice and moist. The perfect addition to a mid-morning cuppa tea.
*Quick tip, the riper the bananas the moister the loaf will be.
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas
- 140g Caster sugar
- 55g Butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 170g Self Raising flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 4 tbsp Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°c (170°c for a fan-assisted oven) and grease & line a 2lb Loaf Tin with grease-proof paper.
- In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the sugar, butter/margarine, egg & vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until all combined.
- Pour half the batter into your pre-lined loaf tin and smooth into the corners.
- Warm your Nutella in the microwave for about 10-20 second to soften it slightly. Drizzle a couple of spoonfuls over the batter in the loaf tin before adding the remaining batter on top.
- Drizzle the remaining Nutella to the top of your loaf before stirring the batter with a skewer to create the marbled effect.
- Bake in your pre-heated oven for 40 minutes until golden on top. Leave to cool in the loaf tin and serve in slices.
