A recipe for an incredible moist and soft banana bread with swirls of Nutella. Enjoy a slice at breakfast, at tea time or as an after dinner sweet treat.
I haven’t been fair. I’ve been playing musical chairs lately with a couple of recipes I’ve baked and photograph weeks ago. It’s time to come clean. It’s time to confess.
I’m guilty of pushing recipes like these peanut butter brownies or chocolate cream cheese cookies and pretty much all the recipes I’ve shared since late January. In my defense, a broken computer, changing hosts and theme might have played a role in my delay, but still. I should have shared the recipes with you, long time ago. Especially this Nutella swirl banana bread I was planning to share for World Nutella Day.
I hope you’ll forgive me now because this banana bread is sure worth the wait. It is incredible moist, soft and the nutella swirls make it even more irresistible.
This recipe is actually the very first recipe for banana bread I’ve tried. I’ve made it so many times I’ve lost count. Every time I had some brown bananas I knew what I would end up baking. It’s one of those recipes that will stay in the family for a long time.
Since I first printed the recipe from all recipes.com, long before I knew what a blog is, I’ve tried other recipes, like this chocolate swirl banana bread, but there’s something about this one. It’s comfort food.
Add to that some nutella swirls and you’re hooked! Of course, if you don’t like Nutella you can add peanut butter or just leave it plain. Either way, it’s going to be so good, you’ll bake it over and over again.
You know the secret to a great banana bread? Brown bananas! Those icky bananas no one wants to eat and sometimes you are asked if they are actually safe to eat. They are and they make the best banana bread. Their flavor is unbeatable and they offer plenty of sweetness and moisture. Don’t be surprised if your family buys more bananas just so you can have some left on the counter for days until they are just ready to be mashed and turned into an irresistible banana bread.

Hy Roxana, I like ur name a lot.
So i made ur nutella banana bread and it came out delicious. My 15mnth old baby also loved it.
Just one thing, I got the swirls of nutella but my cake/bread was a lot more spongy and not as swirly as ur . I can post a pic, here to show u but I dont know how to.
I want to make is exactly like urs. Taste was awsome
Hi Saba,
So glad to hear both you and your baby enjoyed the bread.
For the swirls, I don’t really know what to say. I don’t have two swirled loaves that look the same and I doubt someone can replicate the exact same swirls as someone else. It’s pretty impossible.
You can send me a photo to roxana@roxanagreengirl.com or post it on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Roxanashomebaking
Thanks,
Hi Roxana!
About how many bananas do you use? Thank you for the recipe, I’m so excited to try it!
Hi Gina,
It depends on the size of the bananas, but usually 3 bananas make 1 cup, so for this recipe you’ll probably need 4-5 bananas
