Notes about this recipe

It's a good recipe, I found the taste of banana bread a bit lacking in depth and complexity, but nutella helps a lot.

I’ve made this recipe easily 6 times. Having the second loaf to give away is always appreciated by the recipient. Rest 20 minutes for an even higher rise. I appreciate it isn’t too sweet and I add a cup of chopped walnuts each time.

Made half a recipe for only one banana bread. No complaints from the teenage crowd I made this for, so must have been a good one.

(page 70) A pretty good banana bread ... I found it slightly less sweet than some recipes, and the Nutella was a nice touch, but it could use more swirled through the middle of the batter. I might just add lots of Nutella to my favourite banana bread recipe next time. It did rise nice and high in the 8" x 4" loaf pans specified in the recipe. (I like the Nutella Banana Bread from the Baked Bree blog better: https://bakedbree.com/nutella-swirl-banana-bread)

This recipe was a disappointment. Baked in 9x5 does not give high loaves and nutella didn't add much taste

This one looked good but I was hoping it would taste better. Was really excited by the idea of swirls of Nutella within the banana bread but the nutella just got incorporated into the sponge to create streaks of chocolate sponge as opposed to gooey streaks of Nutella. The banana bread itself was decent but not my favourite. I think next time I’ll try adding more Nutella and swirl it into my regular banana bread recipe, or maybe just spread it on top!
