I can promise you that our nutella banana bread recipe is truly one of the best ways to use a ripe banana. I always have one or two left over that I am searching for a way to use before they go bad, and this is a ripe banana recipe worth making.
It is the best banana bread recipe and a great way to use nutella short of just grabbing a spoonful. Haha. The chocolatey hazelnut flavors pair wonderfully with the sweet banana flavor.
You might even be able to consider this a nutella dessert recipe, however I prefer to call it a bread recipe, because then I don’t feel bad if I eat 2-3 pieces when it’s still hot and smothered in butter.
Speaking of nutella dessert recipes. Have you tried our nutella no bake cookies, peanut butter nutella swirl cookies, or chocolate caramel nutella cookies? If not, you are missing out and need to add them to your must make list. They are sure to impress anyone you choose to share with, if you choose to share. Haha.
Ingredients You Need to Make Our Nutella Banana Bread Recipe:
- All-purpose flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Egg
- Mashed, ripe banana
- Skim milk
- Vanilla extract
- Nutella
Equipment Needed
For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:
How To Make Nutella Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray 8×4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda & salt.
- In a separate 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.
- Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and blend well to make the banana bread batter.
- Spoon Nutella into a small dish and soften in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Add 1 cup of the banana bread batter to the Nutella and stir until blended well. Spoon Nutella batter alternately with plain banana bread batter into the prepared pan. Swirl batters together with a knife.
- Bake 50 to 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.
Storage Suggestions
After you are done enjoying your banana bread you will want to wrap it in either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If you prefer your bread at room temperature, it will last for about 2-3 days. Or you can store it in the fridge and it will last for up to a week!
To get the most out of the bread, I’d suggest keeping the bread in the fridge and then pulling a piece of bread out a little before you want it to let it come up to room temperature if you don’t like it cold.
Or my favorite, slice it, load it up with some delicious butter, and then put it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and let the butter melt right into the banana bread.
Make this Nutella Recipe Your Own
This recipe is absolutely delicious as is, but if you want to add a little more texture to the bread, feel free to add in one of these:
- Chopped walnuts
- Chopped pecans
- Chocolate chips
- Butterscotch chips

Notes
- Banana bread is best stored covered in plastic wrap or foil. It can sit at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
- To freeze, we like to cut it into slices and individually wrap each slice in plastic wrap, then place the slices in a large, resealable ziploc freezer bag.

Mmm. That looks good. We love Nutella!
My husband would literally die over this. When I first brought Nutella home, over a year ago, I caught him sneaking into the pantry DURING DINNER to dip his finger in and get a taste. During the actual meal. So sad.
Plus he loves banana bread. So this is a win-win.
Oh, did I mention I’d love it, too? 😉
I made this the other day and all I can say is YUM! I had exactly enough Nutella for 1 loaf and had to go buy more…..I’ll be making a second batch tomorrow. Thanks so much!!

I had TWO giant jars of nutella from the bulk warehouse and had only opened one for one use. I found this recipe and made the bread over the weekend. I just finished my last two pieces this morning and am longing for more! It was so, SO good. I already had my favorite plain banana bread recipe but this might just beat it out! I always sprinkle extra sugar on the top just before baking for a slight crunch. Thank you for sharing. Very, very good bread!!!
Just made this recipe and I will never make regular banana bread again. It was delicious! I was eating the batter by the spoonful, and the baked bread was even better! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Does this make two loaves or one???
Hi Cristina,
It makes one loaf. Thanks!
I just made it and it totally overflowed an 8.5″ x 4.5″ pan 🙁 The parts that were cooked were delicious though. I’ll try again with two pans 🙂
I made this today and it was fantastic! I’d probably reduce the sugar to 3/4 c as the bread was very sweet, and the Nutella itself is very sweet, but I’m sorry to say the loaf is almost gone…
I made this and mine also overflowed the pan, it was still tasty though.

Hi, what ever happened to the delicious low fat banana bread recipe. I used to make it all the time and I tried clicking on it and it says the page is not available. Bring it back please. I used to make it for my uncle who has muscular dystrophy and he asked me for some and I cant find it 🙁
Thanks so much for stopping by our blog!
have mine in the oven now! Can’t wait to try it!
DELICIOUS!! I keep over-ripe bananas in the freezer for recipes like this one. I have made this recipe numerous times and it always disappears! I find that slightly warming the Nutella (just a few seconds) so it spreads more evenly works best.
seriously, this recipe is amazing!! I make it prob once a month, and people rave about it!! theres a lot of different recipes for this, but I think yours is the best! thanks!!
I am confused about the measurements. Please, tell me what is a 3/4 heaping cup?
And the flour – is that plain or self-raising in the UK?
Really looking forward to making this for my grandchildren.
3/4 heaping cup is a little over the rim on your measuring cup, you dodn’t shake down the excess. We use regular all purpose flour.
This looks mouthwatering! Now, would it come out the same in a slowcooker? I don’t have an oven. 😣 TIA
We have a slow cooker banana bread recipe. Maybe you could adapt it. https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/slow-cooker-banana-bread/
How many bananas make 1 1/4 cup?
Bananas vary in size. But usually 2 bananas will do.
It’s in the oven and I can’t wait to try it! It looks like the step where you add the flour mixture in is missing in both sets of instructions. I love following your recipes and have tried and loved many of them. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for letting us know. We’ll get that fixed right away!
