Nutella Banana Bread
Got this one off of pinterest! yummy!
Nutella Banana Bread
2 C. flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 c. sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/4 C. mashed ripe bananas
1/3 C. skim milk (I used 1%)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 heaping cup nutella
Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
In a seperate large bowl, beat sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until blended. add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. add banana, milk and vanilla. Beat until blended.
Add flour mixture, beat at low speed just until flour is incorporated. (don't over mix.)
Spoon nutella into a small bowl and soften in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Add 1 cup of the banana batter to the nutella and stir until blended. Spoon nutella batter alternately with banana batter into the prepared pan. Swirl batters together with a knife.
Bake 50-60 minutes, it will seem a tiny bit undercooked but that's what makes it good. Cool for at least 15 minutes in the pan, and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
