Today on Twitter Maria, Two Peas and Their Pod, and Jenny, Picky Palate, were tweeting about all the wonderful things everyone’s been baking up with pumpkin lately. I bought a six pack of cans of pumpkin from Costco last month, but hadn’t found time to bake with it yet. Maria suggested making Pumpkin Nutella Bread, which sounded like a perfect idea and I headed into the kitchen.
Last May I made a fabulous Banana Nutella Bread, but I remember wishing that the Nutella was swirled throughout the bread instead of just swirled on top. (Okay, I may have even spread some Nutella on a slice or two.) So I decided to adapt my favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread recipe and do layers of Nutella swirled into the batter instead of chocolate chips.
I used a large ice cream scoop and spread three scoops of batter in the bottom of the loaf pan, added three little scoops of Nutella and swirled it in. I topped it with three more scoops of batter, three more scoops of Nutella swirled in and spread three more scoops of batter on top of the Nutella. I had concerns that the Nutella might be heavier than the batter and sink to the bottom, but the Nutella stayed nicely in place and I ended up with a beautiful swirl of Nutella throughout the bread.
I baked my Pumpkin Nutella Swirl Bread in my beautiful pumpkin pan I won last year from Jenny, Picky Palate! This bread is moist and tender and sweet and delicious. It makes a great after school snack but it’s also sweet enough to serve for dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter, soften
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 16 oz can of pure pumpkin
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350?F and spray two medium loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray, or four/five mini loaf pans (5 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4. Don't fill more than 2/3 full.)
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, spices, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the pumpkin and combine well.
- Add the dry ingredients stirring until just combined.
- Layer 1/3 of the batter into the bottom of 2 loaf pans, swirl in a couple scoops of Nutella, do another layer of batter and another layer of Nutella and top with the remaining 1/3 of the batter.
- Bake side-by-side for about one hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (Bake 35-40 minutes for the mini loaves.)
Notes
Substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves for 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.

I made Maria’s pumpkin nutella bread and we went crazy for it! Love that you swirled yours in the middle-it looks great!

Your pumpkin pan is so pretty! I’m craving everything pumpkin lately, and this nutella swirl bread looks delicious.

Mum that looks divine! And I love pumpkin in baked goods as they taste so moist!

Pumpkin and Nutella – sounds like an amazing combo! Your recipes always inspire me!
What a great cake mould & I can’t think of a cake I’d like more just now than a slice of Pumpkin & Nutella. Sounds really yummy.
This looks superb! I have not yet tried the pumpkin/chocolate combination, but it sure looks good. I have a stack of leftover pumpkin from TWD in my freezer, so all ideas are welcome.
This looks awesome! I haven’t baked with nutella yet and I think I’m missing out. Your pumpkin bread looks so delicious!
The swirls and what a pretty mould!
LOVE that there are not one but 2 layers of Nutella in this pumpkin bread. The pan is so pretty too, lucky you to have won that from Jenny.xo
You take the humble pumkpin to dizzy new heights GF…Nutella swirled through? Yes please! YUM!! Congrats on the win … love the pan!
My husband would drop to his knees if I made this for him.
Awesome combo! I made pumpkin cheesecake with nutella swirl once, YUM!

I am so all over this one! It’s supposed to snow up here this weekend, so I’m thinking a trip to Costco for baking supplies is in order!
The bread is dreamy Barbara! The more nutella the better! Your pan is really pretty too.
Unrelated, but just noticed how many “Megan’s” have commented on this post…clearly we all love pumpkin and Nutella! I never, ever considered using the two together and I’m so excited to try this. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Beautiful Nutella swirls you got there.. Using ice cream scoop sounds convenient… and really really adore the baking pan.. and how moisted the cake looks
