In reply to Laura Stone. Thank you for letting us know, Laura and so sorry you had issues because of the adjustment! Because of the way the recipe card plugin works, we would only be able to include either grams or cup measures, not both and have them adjust properly. Since Zoë has readers who use both of these types of measurements, we include both. I turned off the serving adjustment so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Cheers!

Before printing reduced it to make 1 loaf. However, there’s an issue with the noted amount of flour – yes it shows 1.67 cups but it kept the grams at 400grams (which is for 2 loaves) so my batter was waaaaaay too thick of course! Please correct so that flour will be 200g for only one loaf!

Another great recipe! I’m not a big fan of banana bread, but this is delicious. I can always count on your recipes being perfect, even the first time making them.

In reply to Carin Holm. Hi Carin, absolutely! You can leave it out completely or substitute ganache or chocolate chips instead. Enjoy!

I’ve tried other Nutella Banana Bread recipes and this is the one I keep returning to time after time. I do use about 1/4 c. To 1/3 c. extra Nutella (who wouldn’t? Lol!) We use almond milk and non-dairy butter and sometimes I chop some hazelnuts to add to the top. It’s good all ways! Thank you, Zoe, for this fantastic all purpose recipe. ❤️

I made this today. First of all, the house smelled incredible. This is fantastic that it makes 2 loaves because you WILL need to eat one while it’s warm. Fantastic recipe.

This is very good, although it is a bit messy with swirls of Nutella on the top of the loaf. Next time I make these, I may swirl all the Nutella into the first layer of batter, then smooth the remaining batter on top. The flavor is fabulous no matter what!
