142.6…Nutella Banana Bread

What a productive Sunday! Well, except that I didn’t get out of my pajamas until 2:00PM but that’s ok.

There was breakfast:

Egg Beaters mixed with salsa, light Swiss cheese all on a sandwich thin with some strawberries on the side.

Then something wonderful happened: Nutella Banana Bread.

My kids ate half of it already. It is the best banana bread ever. There was only one problem: the loaf pan specified was too small and it came out of the pan all over my oven. The top got a little burnt and the center wasn’t completely done. That actually turned out to be a little bit of a blessing…the Nutella was a little gooey inside. I ate that piece.

Nutella Banana Bread

Printable Recipe

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1/4 cup sour cream

1/4 tsp cinnamon

2 cups flour

1/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3 over-ripe bananas, mashed

3/4 cup Nutella

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and sour cream, then cinnamon, flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Next add the bananas.

Place Nutella in a small bowl and microwave for 20 seconds. Stir until smooth. Add one cup of the banana bread batter into the Nutella and mix well.

Place large spoonfuls of batter into a greased 8 x 4 inch (May want to go bigger!) loaf pan, alternating between the banana and Nutella batters. Swirl the two batters together with a knife. Bake 60-65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

 

Lunch was some Madras Lentils, brown rice, Cholula hot sauce and cilantro:

Then I cleaned out my pantry. I took everything out, cleaned the shelves and the floor and reorganized everything.

So much better!!!
