Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Bread

Happy Birthday to me!

I know I’ve been too busy to use the oven lately (as seen by my smoothie, ice cream, and guacamole no-bake recipes, among others lately) but I made the exception for today. And even though it’s not a cake, I think that special occasions should be celebrated with this Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Bread.

Because it has fruit, it’s healthy, right? RIGHT? Please agree. I want to counter all the chocolate I’ve been eating lately by some good old fashioned banana-infused baked goods.

But of course I need to put some chocolate in here. Hey, I do what I want! It’s my birthday!

This was so good, it’s all gone now. That’s what I get for not baking for a long time. Or maybe it’s because I put it right next to me while I was writing my essays that are all due within the next few days. I know, I just live it up on my birthday.

So celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, … Mondays with this Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Bread. I will give two chocolate covered thumbs up to that!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 55 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
Servings: 10 slices
Calories: 275kcal

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp Nutella
  • 10 tsp oil, divided
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 medium bananas, sliced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6.75 oz all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Nutella and 1 teaspoon canola oil and microwave for 30 minutes, or until melted. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the milk and vinegar, and set aside to “sour”.
  • In a large bowl mix together the remaining 3 tablespoons of canola oil, butter, brown sugar and banana using a mixer on medium speed. Beat until well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Beating at low speed, add the flour mixture and “soured” milk alternately to banana mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Pour half of the mixture into a lightly sprayed loaf pan. Top with chocolate mixture. Pour the remaining batter over the chocolate mixture. Using a wooden pick, swirl the batter. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.
  • Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs clinging. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to cool on wire racks.

Notes

  1. To Freeze Banana Bread: Wrap in foil, and place in a freezer bag. Remove as much air from the freezer bag as possible and store bread in freezer for up to 4 months. When ready to thaw, remove from the freezer and place foil wrapped banana bread on counter for around 4 hours before slicing.
  2. I like to use avocado oil, but any neutral oil works.

    I love the twist to the classic banana bread. Hazelnuts added a yummy crunchy texture, and chocolate made it extra decadent!
