It’s everything you want in banana bread and more! It has roasted bananas, creamy peanut butter, chunks of Butterfinger candy bars, and swirls of Nutella spread. Oh, that Nutella!! Don’t let the word ‘bread’ in the title fool you, this is a rich and decadent dessert!
This really is the best banana bread. It’s a great way to use old bananas. If you don’t have over-ripe bananas, try roasting them as I did. Either way is fine to use in this recipe. Bananas not only add flavor to this bread but also adds moisture.
Nutella Swirled Peanut Butter Roasted Banana Bread
Roasting bananas bring out the natural juices and flavor in them. Roasting bananas is a great way to bring out those ‘over-ripe’ flavors without having to actually wait for them to ripen.
You can substitute over-ripe bananas in this recipe if you choose. For over-ripe bananas, you want that very dark skin and soft to the touch. The riper and darker the skin, they are the sweeter bananas become.
How to Roast Bananas
- Heat oven to 450º Fahrenheit.
- Line a 9×9 inch casserole dish with aluminum foil.
- Add 1/2 tablespoon butter to the pan and melt in the oven.
- Peel the bananas and add them whole to the casserole dish.
- Roast 8 to 10 minutes.
How to Freeze Banana Bread
- Also, this bread freezes well. You may want to freeze the whole loaf, of cut slices and freeze them individually.
- To freeze, wrap the loaf or slices tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
- Place the wrapped bread inside a zip-top freezer bag and squeeze as much air out as possible.
- Finally, you can freeze banana bread for three months.

Ingredients
- 1 and ½ cups all-purpose flour

- In another bowl, stir together the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg, and sugars.
- Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, this batter will be thick. Do not over mix.
- Fold in Butterfinger bars.
- Spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.

Notes
- For cleaner slices, allow the bread to cool completely before slicing. If you can't wait to slice and enjoy, that is fine, you just may not get perfect looking slices.
- If you're not a fan of Butterfinger candy bars, you can substitute Reese's peanut butter cups or chocolate chips
