Hip Tips for this Nutella Swirl Banana Bread: 

  • This recipe makes two loaves of bread, so if you’re wanting to just make one loaf, simply use half of the ingredients, and continue with the directions.
  • One cool tip I found on Pinterest that works for getting butter to room temperature quickly is to heat a glass cup and place it over the stick of butter. It works!
  • Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread is so delicious, and I love it with this bread. If there is a nut allergy in your family, you can omit and maybe stir chocolate chips into the batter before baking. You could also melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals and swirl them in the batter as shown as another option.
  • Don’t skip the step about greasing your loaf pans. Add a little flour and tap the pan around in all directions so it distributes the flour all around the inside. This will ensure no sticking.
  • I have made this bread using all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour – and both turn out yummy! I would imagine you could also opt to use your favorite 1:1 gluten-free flour.
  • No eggs? For each egg, try mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons of water, and it will form an egg-like substance for baking. We’ve got more egg substitute ideas if you’re not interested in the flax route.

Seriously…. this is so YUM!

What an incredible treat, and a yummy way to use up bananas that are getting too brown. I love how easy the process is to make quick breads like this. I also love that this is a fun baking activity to do with the kids. Doing the swirly part is especially exciting, and the results are beautiful and oh-so-tasty.

There’s something super onlineforting about baking, and this banana bread doesn’t disappoint!

  1. Lisa

    Humm, this sounds “interesting.” I’m not a huge fan of Nutella but do love banana bread (and chocolate). Waiting on a fellow Hipster to give me their 2 cents! I’m wondering too if I can simply use the Nutella as described for prep in my own recipe as I simply like mine better (it has sour cream in it and, oh, so good and moist.).

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Ya I’d say go for it – just swirl it in your recipe when pouring into loaf pans. 👍

      • Lisa

        Thanks, Lina. Maybe I’ll half the Nutella and that’ll help with my aversion!

        • Julie

          Would you be willing to share your recipe Lisa?

          • Lisa

            Julie, Google “Janet’s Banana Bread Receipe” and that’ll work. The only thing I didn’t like was that the recipe reonlinemends “slicing” the bananas — no way, I just take a fork and mush them like normal. This recipe is the best I’ve ever found.

            • Lisa

              Don’t search for my misspelling though of “Receipe” though!

    • Erin

      To be honest, the Nutella doesn’t really onlinee through that well in the banana bread recipes I’ve tried (and I looove Nutella). Since you have an aversion to Nutella (and it’s not really great for you anyway), why not just use some dark chocolate? Use your favorite recipe and either swirl melted chocolate into the tops of the loaves or fill your loaf pans halfway, mix the melted chocolate into the remaining batter, and divide among your loaf pans, and bake.

    Game Changer!

  3. Java

    I did not have Nutella on hand. I added raisins and some cranberries. Even better, I added a spritz of cherry brandy. Rocked my world.

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Wow that is so creative! Thanks for sharing Java 👍

  4. Judy

    I made it this past weekend…sooo good!!! I 1/2’d the ingredients and only made one just to test. I will be making 2 from now on. LOL I did have a problem. I’m not sure if there are different sizes of loaf pans but mine are glass just like the picture. I kept an eye on it while baking and it starting going over the edges of my loaf pan. Thank goodness I saw it before it made a mess in my oven. I just put a sheet pan under it to catch the over flow.

    • J

      Made some last night and have a messy oven to clean up! But totally with you one two loafs! I did one and today I realized I have a problem as well.. way to yummy to resist !

    • silvgoddess

      I’m making it with half the ingredients in small loaf pans. I decided to do 35 mins instead. Hopefully it turns out well but Thanks to this onlinement, put a sheet pan below too!

  5. Sylvia

    I made this and the entire family liked it, didn’t have problem with overflow

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Thanks for sharing Sylvia! Yummy 😋

  6. Mike

    What’s the sweetness level on this ??? 4 Bananas 1.5 c sugar 1 c Nutella Would definitely downgrade some sugar.

  7. Nicole

    I made this as directed in regular loaf pans with no issues. My husband declared it the best banana bread ever- and he’s a tough audience with a previous favorite recipe!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh that’s such great news! Thanks for sharing Nicole!

  8. Kim Glapa

    I was thinking the same thing to use my own banana bread recipe. This is such a great idea as I always add chocolate chips to my banana bread! My banana bread recipe uses a miracle whip, and I’ve been making them for 30 years and everybody loves them, you, Lina for another great
