Nutella Banana Bread

Attention parents! My children are OBSESSED with this Skillet Nutella Banana Bread. Obsessed. I am pretty sure if I let them eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner, they totally would. It’s perfectly tender, has tons of banana flavor, a swirl of nutella and crisp edges because it’s cooked in a cast iron skillet. Honestly, my children aren’t the only ones obsessed.

Confession time: sometimes I am a total mess in the kitchen.

There. I said it.

Yes, I am in the kitchen all the time. Yes, I love it. But sometimes I just get these ideas in my head and think I HAVE TO MAKE IT RIGHT NOW. I don’t stop to check the time OR make sure I have all the ingredients. Then about halfway through I realize I am out of sugar (like I did in this recipe) or I am short on time.

I should really be a better planner. Maybe that’ll be my New Year’s Resolution next year.

Again.

But then again, being a mess in the kitchen has led to some beautiful things like this Skillet Nutella Banana Bread. I was actually only going to do a traditional banana bread but silly me didn’t check the pantry for granulated sugar because who doesn’t have sugar?? (This girl apparently) I also neglected to check the time as I was putting everything together. By the time I did, I realized that I had a little under an hour before I had to leave to pick up Kellan from school. Not enough time to make the bread in a traditional bread pan.  But since I was mid-stir in my nutella banana bread making, I couldn’t quit and I decided to spread the bread into a 10 inch cast iron skillet, swirl the Nutella on the top and bake it. It only took about 35 minutes.

Annnnnnnd. I’m pretty sure any banana bread I make from now on will be made in a skillet.

It’s just so purty.

Just look at all that golden brown nutella banana bread goodness!

Oh and you might be wondering how I solved my sugar problem. No, I didn’t leave it out. And I didn’t ask a neighbor. Instead, I happened to find just enough brown sugar (Add writing a grocery list to the other things I’m a mess at in the kitchen) and used that instead. It worked fabulously so while you could do make this recipe with granulated sugar, I HIGHLY recommend using brown :)
