Use a light hand when swirling the batter; too much swirling may lose the very cool stripe effect.
And did you know you can make your own homemade wholesome hazelnut spread (Nutella)? Abby made it over the holidays, plus it’s a super fun gift to give for Valentine’s Day!
Of course you can use regular Nutella in this recipe. We buy BULK at Costco, that is how much we love it! (Love it in recipes like No Churn Nutella Ice Cream and Homemade Strawberry Nutella Ice Cream.
Is banana bread really bad for you?
Well, to be honest, there is really nothing healthy about a slice of banana bread, except that bananas are a fruit. HA
If you add peanut butter and hazelnut (Nutella) spread, it’s even richer (and tastier!)

Friends, do you ever get stuck saying the shoulda, woulda, coulda’s? You know, you wish you would have invited people over, you had the best pot of soup on the stove. Or I would have invited our neighbors, but our house isn’t quite “done” yet. Or, I could have gone to the party, but I was really tired and wanted to veg out with Netflix. (HA). Not that Netflix isn’t fun to veg out with, occasionally.
How about getting a loaf of this delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Peanut Butter Banana Bread baking in the oven and change your course today?
Don’t be paralyzed or a procrastinator, don’t live with regrets, but instead move forward (it takes courage), and do things differently this year! That’s what I’m doing! (By the way, I love this quote from Shel Silverstein.)
For 2022, don’t feel “stuck”. Take a risk!

Chocolate Hazelnut Peanut Butter Banana Bread
Ingredients
- butter, for greasing pan
- 1 ½ cup flour, plus more for pan
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 2 ½ Tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 eggs, (1 egg + 1 yolk)
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, or Nutella
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°. Grease a loaf pan with butter and dust with flour; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- In separate bowl, combine, butter, milk, sour cream, vanilla, egg, egg yolk, peanut butter, homemade Nutella (or store-bought), and bananas. Mix until smooth. Scoop dry ingredients into wet, about 1/2 cut at a time, until all ingredients are mixed together.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown, about 40-45 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
This was good. Mine didn’t look like this though – no swirls. Also, I baked in a 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan and it took about a hour. It was still very undercooked at 40-45 minutes.
Looks like a nice change to the usual banana bread. Can you share how to make the swirls; I assume it’s the peanut butter thinned with something. And your loaf pan appears oversized in the photos. Is it a different size? I like the idea of a longer, narrower loaf. Makes nicer slices. Good reminder to shelf check ourselves on the woulda, coulda, shouldas……a real pitfall for most of us.
This is dangerous, now I can’t think of anything else but making this gorgeous bread!
Yum. Def. pinning this to make later. We’ve been working on having more people over again, we got out of it when life dramatically changed and turned life as we knew it upside down. It an be easy to dwell on the past but there’s no joy or growth in it, especially if it was painful. Learn, brush it off, heal, and keep moving forward.
