In celebration of Nutella day, I added a twist to my favorite Banana Bread recipe. Of course you can skip the Nutella and bake it as is for a less sugary version.

Be sure to have a slice before the kids get a taste. It will disappear!

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (about 3)
• 1/3 cup of buttermilk or add 1 tsp of vinegar to 2% milk and let stand for 5 minutes
• 3tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 0 2/3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Nutella

Steps to Make the recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, buttermilk, oil and vanilla. Beat well with a whisk until well blended. 

In a small bowl, stir the flour, baking soda and salt.

Add to the banana mixture and stir just until combined.

Pour half the mixture into very lightly oiled 8 X 5 (1.5L) non stick loaf pan.

Spread a good layer of Nutella.

Spread the remaining banana mixture.

Bake at 350F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Spread the top with a layer of Nutella. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then transfer to plate to cool completely.
