nutella-swirled banana bread
This is a Monday morning kind of bread.
This is a “I don’t want to get out of bed” kind of bread. A “I just need one more second of vacation” kind of bread. The kind of bread you make when you don’t want to grow up, when it’s your birthday and you want to put Nutella on it (like a bird), when you just know you’re going to have a bad day so you need a slice (or three) of this bread to make it a good one. Or, when you’re having a good day and you just want to keep it that way.
Now that you’re sufficiently drooling all over your keyboard, head over to the lovely Pass the Cocoa where I’ve shared a guest post on this scrumptious Nutella-swirled banana bread. Please note that, yes, all anecdotes about the deliciousness of this bread are not from me but from my taste-testers because I’m allergic to bananas. So also, YES, it was the most torturous torture of all tortures making this loaf and not being able to actually take a legitimate bite of it. Good thing I had a spoon and extra Nutella nearby to console myself.
Happy Monday, loves!
Monica — Oh, thank you both for inviting me! I’m so glad you like the recipe ๐
Laura — Oh trust me, I’m dying over here over it, too ๐ Thanks, love!
Holy cow! That is an epic-ly gorgeous banana bread.
Cookin Canuck — Thank you, Dara! ๐
Ok, lady, here’s what you need to do… bake another loaf of this bread, hop a plane to NYC, and find me! We’ll take it from there ๐
Ashley — Haha, I like that plan a lot! Let’s make it happen someday ๐
I need three, three whole loaves. It’s going to be a long night ๐
Carrian — Haha, I hear ya. Wish I could beam you three loaves right now! ๐
This bread looks phenomenal. I love how you use nutella for this.
Jarome — Thank you!
I love that you are a Portlandia fan. My husband just can’t get into it. These flavors are a perfect match. Can you send me a piece?
I’m currently on a juice cleanse…and now I know how I’m going to break it. This looks SO GOOD. Good thing I have a bunch of over ripened bananas on my counter…pinned!
Stefanie — Ha! Glad you enjoyed the reference. ๐ I have a love/hate relationship with that show but I do love the “put a bird on it” segment. And yes, I wish I could mail you a whole loaf right now!
Wow! That looks incredible! I’m heading over to get the recipe. Will be putting this on my to-bake list.
Rachel — Oooh good on you, girl, for going on a juice cleanse! I do NOT have the willpower for those. ๐ Keep it up though and you can make this bread as a prize!
