    Banana-Nutella-Bread-Barbara-Bakes

    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!

      My dad would LOVE this! He’s on a quick bread kick – and I just bought a huge bunch of bananas – so this is going on the roster next!

      I clicked over here from Meet Me in the Kitchen. I love this idea! I just bought some Nutella and was thinking about what to do with it. I'd feel much better about adding it to some healthy banana bread rather than making brownies or truffles.

      I actually dip bananas in jars of Nutella, so this is right up my alley. As usual, you baked it to perfection, like you always do! Must try!

      I remember trying Nutella in Fiji 30 years ago it would be perfect in your bread. What a great idea.

      This looks sooo good. I like that it’s less like “banana bread with nutella” and more like “nutella bread with chocolate.” LOL

      Mmmm- great idea!! I had never had Nutella before my trip to Chicago. We stopped in a cupcake bakery and had Banana-Nutella cupcakes. Quite good! I'll have to buy a jar & mess around w/ it.
