Nutella Stuffed Banana Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease and flour a 8 ½ x 4 ½ inch loaf pan.
• Using a hand mixer cream butter and sugar in a bowl. Add eggs one at a time and mix. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the mashed banana to the creamed sugar and beat until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
• Pour half the batter in the loaf pan. Using a spoon pour half the chocolate hazelnut spread down the middle of the loaf pan.
• Using a skewer or paring knife, gently swirl the batter and chocolate hazelnut spread together.
• Pour the rest of the batter on top and repeat with remaining chocolate hazelnut spread.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, cut a 3-inch-wide slit into one side of each bread slice, cutting about three-quarters of the way through to make a pocket.
• Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread inside each pocket and then layer in 3 to 4 banana slices.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to liberally coat the bottom. Heat until hot, but not smoking.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cream, eggs, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Soak each stuffed bread slice into the custard and, working in batches, fry in a single layer until the custard is fully cooked, about 3 minutes per side.
• Top the French toast with additional banana slices and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
• Stir the flour, baking soda and salt together in a bowl.
• Brown butter: Melt butter in a light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter will go from browned and nutty to acrid and burnt in moments. Transfer butter to a large heat-safe mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
• When the butter has cooled a bit, add the mashed bananas, sugar, yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined, then add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Pour half the batter into prepared pan and spread it evenly with a knife or offset spatula. Spoon half the chocolate-hazelnut spread in several dollops over the top and use a toothpick or skewer to swirl it into the batter. Spoon and spread the remaining batter over the top followed by dollops of the remaining spread. Swirl in the spread, then bake the bread for 55 to 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
