Five ingredient gluten free banana bread (with Nutella!)

I woke up to three very ripe bananas this morning, and knew they wouldn’t last another day with the humidity in Sydney, so there was only one thing to do – bake banana bread!

Now in our house we have one child who loves banana bread, and another who doesn’t, so I tried a little experiment – because he does love nutella!

Please note, I didn’t feel like getting out the big mixer today, so I used my little barrel mixer. If you are using a traditional mixed, I would mash the bananas before adding them.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of gluten free self raising flour
3 ripe medium sized bananas
100g room temperature butter
1 tbs nutella for the wet mix, plus 3 tsp of nutella for the swirl
2 large eggs

Method:

Add the bananas, butter, 1 tbs of nutella and eggs into the barrel mixer, and mix until smooth.
Add in the flour, and blend again.
Spray tin with oil spray of your choice.
Pour mix into tin.
Now at this point, it was smelling very banana-y, and as I was trying to win over the boy, I decided to swirl some more nutella through, to try to win him over.
Distribute the 3 tsp of nutella evenly onto the top of the mix, and use a skewer or chopstick to create a swirl.
Bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees celsius. Our oven cooks a little unvenly, so I turned it after 30 minutes to ensure I would get an even rise and colour.
