Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 210 grams (1 and 1/2 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 60 ml (1/4 cup) buttermilk*
  • 180 grams (3/4 cup) mashed banana, (use 2–3 overripe bananas)
  • 100 grams (1/3 cup) Nutella

Instruction

  • Grease and line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with baking or parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add sugar and cinnamon and gently stir.
  • Heat the butter in the microwave until just melted, stirring in between 10 second bursts. Remove the butter and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Next, add eggs, vanilla and buttermilk to your cooled butter and whisk gently until combined. Make a well in the middle of your dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and the mashed banana.
  • Very gently stir until the mixture is just combined – be careful not to over mix.
  • Pour the mixture into your prepared tin. Then dollop over Nutella and gently swirl using a butter knife. 
  • Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes** or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
