The other night Paul ate three bananas because they were apparently “perfect” and by the next morning they would be past their prime. There is an irrefutable 6 hour window of perfection when it comes to bananas in our household, which is why I make banana bread so often.

It’s incredibly easy to make, and it’s sure to please everyone who tries it. Plus, there are swirls of Nutella in every bite, which makes it even more irresistible.

HOW TO MAKE DELICOUS BANANA BREAD WITH NUTELLA
Variations
Stir in ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking for some added crunch. Substitute peanut butter, Biscoff cookie butter, or even your favorite fruit preserves for Nutella if desired. Add ½ cup of chocolate chips to the banana bread batter for even more of a delicious chocolatey treat! Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a hint of spice. Top with whipped cream and fresh berries for a delicious dessert.
Can I Freeze This Recipe?
Yes, you can freeze banana bread with Nutella! First, wrap the cooled loaf in parchment paper and aluminum foil or plastic wrap, then place it in a freezer-safe container or bag. It should stay fresh for up to 3 months. Then, when you’re ready to eat it, thaw the loaf overnight in the refrigerator and warm the slices in your oven or toaster oven.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
Use ripe bananas that are speckled with brown spots. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. Make sure to mix all of your ingredients together until just combined. Overmixing can make the bread dense and tough. Let the banana bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into it, or else it will fall apart.

This Nutella banana bread freezes well for up to 3 months. You can freeze the whole loaf or individual slices for easy reheating. If freezing the loaf, let thaw overnight on the counter at room temperature. Individual slices can be reheated in the microwave for 30-40 seconds without thawing first.
