Banana bread filled with homemade ‘nutella’

February 29, 2016 By travellingoven 2 Comments

I woke up to such a dark and gloomy day, the thick layer of fog has covered the mountains and you can almost hear the silence. It just started to snow so hopefully that will brighten up the day a little bit and chase that fog away… Tomorrow is 1st day of March and even if I believe we will still have some snow and maybe even a lot, at least we know that after that last round of snow and winter, the spring is on its way! Are you looking forward to spring? Unless of course you live in a place where is summer now! 🙂 I am really a kind of person who loves all seasons, never been one of those who for example openly dislike winter because it’s cold or wet, I like to dress in cozy jumpers and have a cup of hot tea or hot chocolate while it’s freezing cold outside and I like to have long walks in the snow so winter never really bothers me. But when you live in a place where the winter is very long and you have months and months of snow, than you slowly start to dream about the spring and its smells, colors and warmth.
One thing that makes a day like today much much better is chocolate of course! Specially if it’s in the form of creamy, delicious and healthy homemade “nutella” and even more so when you have a slice of warm banana bread filled with that yummy chocolate hazelnut spread, yum!


Of course you can make this banana bread with any chocolate-hazelnut spread you prefer or even with real nutella if you want but if you want to keep this a healthier recipe but still enjoy all that wonderful creamy chocolate, than I suggest you either make your own or buy one in health food stores where you’ll know that it contains more good ingredients like large percentage of hazelnuts, real cacao and natural sweeteners and not loads of refined sugar and additives that you can’t even pronounce.

To read more about this and to see how you can easily make your own (but you will need a food processor for that and the stronger it is, the creamier “nutella” you will get), see here as I already wrotte about that on the blog. I mean, if occasionally you eat a spoon or two of the “real nutella” nothing bad will happen to you but I know how that goes as I’ve been there, a spoon becomes two, two becomes three, three becomes  half jar in no time! And than when you buy it regularly, you will eat it regulary so if you want to cut down the refined sugar, than this is one of many ways you can do that. Start making your own chocolate-hazelnut spread so you won’t have to worry if you had a spoon too many! 😉

Author: Lili Basic Capaccetti
Recipe type: Dessert/Breakfast
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup maple or agave syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup almond milk (or other)
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ½ cup homemade "nutella"
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
  • To make your own homemade"nutella", see the recipe here.
Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 180 C (356 F) and grease bread baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt and stir with a wooden spoon.
  3. Add cinnamon, maple or agave syrup, eggs and almond milk and stir well until it's all combined.
  4. Cut the bananas and mash them until they are creamy.
  5. Add the mashed bananas to the mixture and stir until is all combined.
  6. Pour half of the mixture into prepared bread pan.
  7. Using a spoon spread equally ½ cup of homemade "nutella" on the center of the bread mixture.
  8. Pour the other half of the banana bread mixture on top of the "nutella" spread.
  9. Bake on 180 C (356 F) for about 50 minutes or until the tester comes out clean (ignore the chocolate spread on the tester or knife as that will stay creamy even when the bread is baked)
  10. Note: Be careful not to fill up the baking pan till the top as the banana bread will rise when baking.
  11. Note: You can cover the top of the banana bread with a parchment paper for the last 20 minutes of baking or when you see that the color is becoming too brown.
  12. Note: You can keep the bread for a day or two on room temperature and if there is any left after that, than store it in the fridge. It's delicious and moist even after few days in the fridge.

I hope you will enjoy this recipe (that I made three times in the last week or so to get it right how I like it!) and if it you think you would want more chocolate that in the recipe, than just use that other half of “nutella” cup after baking and spread it on warm banana bread slices. So delicious! 🙂

It was an early afternoon and this little farmers’ market was closing as I asked the woman selling the flowers if I could take a photo. She sounded almost embarrassed and said ‘oh you should have come earlier when my flowers were in their full beauty and the display was much prettier, I’m afraid they won’t make a nice photo now..’ I replied that they are beautiful and that I would very much like to take a photo of them. And afterwards I thought how I haven’t even noticed that they weren’t ‘perfect’ anymore. I guess I have always been drawn to ‘imperfection’ and find great beauty in it. ☺️✨✨✨
I absolutely love Wabi Sabi, The Japanese Art of Impermanence, an aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete.
Wabi-Sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.❤️
Few scenes from beautiful island and town Rab..💛 There are places that have that special atmosphere and good energy that is difficult to put into words. You simply have to be there to feel it. But I hope these few images give you a bit of that wonderful vibe…✨

Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I lov Have you ever tried Rapska torta (Rab cake)? I love its sweet and rich taste and aroma, almonds, lemon and orange zest, Maraschino liqueur...🧡
It is believed that this dessert was served for the first time in 1177 to the Pope Alexander III on the occasion of the blessing of the Rab Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary. One hundred years ago this unique Rab dessert was made by nuns in the monastery of St. Anthony of Padua, while some time later also in the Benedictine monastery of St. Andrew. The original and at the same time secret recipe was only known to a few of the Rab women. Even today it is known to only a few and it's made on especially festive occasions...
