Nutella Stuffed Bananas Recipes

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:

• 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:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously coat an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and dust with flour, tap out the excess.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside. Mash the sugar with the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in the butter, vanilla and eggs. Whisk in the flour mixture until just combined.
• Microwave the chocolate-hazelnut spread in a small microwave-safe bowl and until pourable, about 30 seconds. Reserve 2 tablespoons in a small bowl and set aside. Spread half of the batter in the bottom of the prepared pan. Pour the warmed hazelnut spread down the center of the batter leaving about a 1/2-inch border all around so that you have a chocolate-hazelnut center. Spread the remaining batter on top and smooth out with a spatula.
• Bake until the top is domed, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan and on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully invert onto a platter or cake stand and then turn upright. Cool completely on the wire rack, about 1 hour. Microwave the reserved hazelnut spread until it can be drizzled, about 30 seconds. Drizzle the spread over the cake then sprinkle the hazelnuts down the center.
