Recipe: see how to make banana bread with Nutella – 05/14/2023 – Food

This banana bread (a kind of banana bread or cake) definitely leans into the dessert field, thanks to the bits of chocolate and hazelnut cream in the dough (even so, it can also be served in a special café).

Browning butter can seem a little tricky, but it’s worth the time and effort.

The toasty flavor of this process goes perfectly with the bananas. After all, the French term for butter browned in a pan is “beurre noisette,” which literally translates to “nut (or hazelnut) butter.”

BANANA BREAD WITH NUTELLA

Performance: A 22 cm loaf
Total time: 80 minutes

Ingredients:

• 120 grams of unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the mold
• 250 grams of traditional flour, plus more for dusting the mold
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 300 grams of banana puree (made with about three very ripe medium bananas and mashed well with a fork)
• 130 grams of sugar
• 60 grams of natural Greek yogurt
• Two eggs
• 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
• 100 grams of chocolate and hazelnut cream (for example Nutella)

Preparation:

• Heat the oven to 180ºC. Grease and flour a 20 x 12 x 8 cm mold
• Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl
• Melt the butter in a light-bottomed pan over medium heat. Cook the butter, stirring the pan and, if necessary, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula, until it is a deep golden brown and smells of nuts. Do not move away from the skillet during this process. Butter goes from browned and nutty to burnt in an instant. Transfer the butter to a large heatproof bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• When the butter has cooled slightly, add the mashed banana, sugar, yogurt, eggs and vanilla extract.

• Stir until everything is incorporated, then add the flour, salt and baking soda mixture and stir. until uniform, but not mixed too much.

• Place half the dough in the already greased mold and spread it evenly with a knife or a spatula. spread half the Nutella in several pieces in the dough and use a toothpick or spoon to distribute it in the dough.
• Place and spread the remaining dough over this one and repeat the process.
• Take the dough to the oven for about 55 or 60 minutes or until golden; put a toothpick in the center of the dough: if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
