This Nutella Swirled Banana Bread is a soft, moist banana bread swirled with a generous amount of hazelnut chocolate spread. An easy recipe made in under 20 minutes!
Preheat the oven to 375°. Butter a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan (mine was longer and skinnier with the same volume, so that works too!) and then pour a little sugar into the bottom of the pan, tap the sugar around until it creates an even sugar layer. Tap out any excess.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Put bananas, eggs and buttermilk into a blender and blend until smooth. [I used an immersion blender for this task because I hate my blender.] Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Pour half the banana mixture and half the flour mixture into the butter mixture, and mix with a hand mixer just until smooth. Repeat with the remaining banana and flour mixture. Pour into prepared pan.
Place dollops of Nutella on top of the batter. I used 5. Using a bamboo skewer or knife, gently poke the Nutella and spread in swirls on top of the batter.
Bake in preheated oven 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few clinging crumbs attached.
