Happy October 1st! I can officially post all the pumpkin things & get away with it now, right?

Side note – I stay and keep company with the sweetest little old lady named Hazel aka “Nana” as a part-time job. So last night, I introduced Nana to Nutella and boy, oh boy…

We (me, with Nana’s approval!) decided to combine 3 of the best ingredients ever and make this bread! Now this is a little personal, but I like my baked goods waaaaay gooey and underdone. So some of you might think this bread looks gummy and raw but sorry, not sorry. It was off the chain.

2 large ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 can of pumpkin
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar
1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
good pinch of salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 jar of Nutella

1. Combine the first 6 ingredients (bananas – sugar)
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt & cinnamon
3. Slowly add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 1) and stir until just combined. Careful, do not over mix!
4. Spray a loaf pan and pour the batter into pan
5. Microwave a jar of Nutella for about 10-15 seconds to loosen it up. Place spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the bread batter and swirl with knife. You should use about half the jar, but no judgement if you use more ;)
5. Bake at 350 degrees for around 50-55 minutes

PS, it goes reeeeaally well with a hot cup of black coffee ;)
