Nutella Banana Brunch Bake Recipes

NUTELLA® BANANA SPLIT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine bananas and cream in another bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter in a third bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the banana mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until melted, about 25 seconds. Pour over the batter in the pan and swirl in with a knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes.
• While the bread is baking, whisk the brown sugar, half-and-half, butter, and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vanilla and cook until a bit thicker, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Pour sauce into a jar and refrigerate until cold.
• Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with caramel sauce.

BANANA AND NUTELLA STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Using a sharp paring knife, cut a 3-inch-wide slit into one side of each bread slice, cutting about three-quarters of the way through to make a pocket.
• Spread 1/2 tablespoon of the chocolate-hazelnut spread inside each pocket and then layer in 3 to 4 banana slices.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough butter to liberally coat the bottom. Heat until hot, but not smoking.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the cream, eggs, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Soak each stuffed bread slice into the custard and, working in batches, fry in a single layer until the custard is fully cooked, about 3 minutes per side.
• Top the French toast with additional banana slices and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.

NUTELLA BANANA BRUNCH BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat 13x9 baking dish with 1 Tbsp butter.

• Tear bread into bite-size pieces. Place 1/2 bread into baking dish.
• Top bread with 1/2 of the banana slices and dollops of 1/2 of the Nutella.
• Repeat layers of bread, banana, Nutella.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and vanilla. Pour mixture over bread.
• Let stand for 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• Combine oats and 1/2 cup brown sugar and softened butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of bread mixture.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 mins until set.
• Remove foil and bake 10-12 mins more until topping is golden. Let stand 10 mins before serving.

BANANA AND NUTELLA® FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread on 1 side of each slice of bread. Arrange banana slices over chocolate-hazelnut spread on 2 of the slices. Place remaining slices atop bananas to form 2 sandwiches.
• Whisk chocolate milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Dip sandwiches in milk mixture and turn as necessary to coat completely.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches in hot butter until both sides are golden brown and banana and chocolate spread have softened, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
