2 Nutella Banana Bread

Nutella Banana BreadEveryone loves banana bread. But add in Nutella and you have just made a whole new level of love for banana bread. Follow this recipe and you are on your way to creating a level of mouthwatering Nutella foods that you didn’t even know were possible.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup plain low fat yogurt, low fat sour cream or buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour, or half all-purpose and half whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/2 cup Nutella (or to taste)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8″x4″ or 9″x5″ loaf pan with non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well combined – the mixture will have the consistency of wet sand. Add the banana, eggs, yogurt and vanilla and beat until well blended. Don’t worry about getting all the lumps of banana out.

Add the flour, baking soda and salt and gently stir with a spatula just until combined. If you are adding nuts or other optional ingredients, throw them in before the batter is completely blended.

Pour about half the batter into your prepared pan, top with spoonfuls of Nutella, spreading it gently over the batter (don’t worry about getting it even), and top with the remaining batter. Bake in the middle of the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the top is cracked and springy to the touch. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Makes 1 loaf.

5 Vegan Nutella Bites

Vegan Nutella BitesJust because you are vegan doesn’t mean you have to give up on the delicious taste of Nutella. These vegan Nutella bites are a healthier vegan option that don’t require you to use Nutella. They are also super easy to make.

Ingredients:
2 cups hazelnuts
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
10-12 medjool dates pitted
1-2 tablespoons milk of choice (I used oatmilk)

Directions:
If you are using raw hazelnuts, preheat oven to 375 and roast the nuts for about 7-10 minutes. If using roasted hazelnuts, skip this first step. In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts into a fine powder. Then add the dates, cocoa powder and milk and process until a dough forms. Roll the dough into balls and place in the fridge to set. Or, you can just eat them right out of the food processor.
