This nutella banana bread is moist, soft, and swirled with gooey ribbons of nutella. I love a banana bread that's packed full of chocolate chip and nuts, so I added chocolate chips and roasted hazelnuts for some crunch and extra chocolate hazelnut flavor. It's a moist, chunky, banana bread that easily comes together in one bowl without an electric mixer, making it so easy to whip up. It's really the perfect, decadent banana bread to make all year and for the holidays.

Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C). Place the hazelnuts on a cookie sheet and roast them in the oven for 5-8 minutes, being careful not to burn them. They're ready when they're fragrant, golden brown, and the skin comes off easily. Let them cool, roughly remove the skins, and chop into pieces.
⅕ ½ hazelnutsPeel the bananas into a large bowl. Use the back of a fork to mash them roughly. Add the brown sugar, and eggs into the bowl. Whisk together to combine.
⅕ 3 bananas⅕ ½ brown sugar⅕ 2 large eggsAdd the melted butter, greek yogurt, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt into the bowl. Whisk to combine.
⅕ ½ butter⅕ ½ plain Greek yogurt⅕ 1 pure vanilla extract⅕ 1 ground cinnamon⅕ ½ sea saltAdd the flour and baking soda into the bowl. Fold the mixture with a whisk to make a batter.
⅕ 2 all purpose flour⅕ 1 baking sodaThen, add the chopped hazelnuts (reserving a tablespoon for the top) and the chocolate chips, folding them into the batter.
⅕ ½ mini semisweet chocolate chips⅕ ¾ nutellaLine a 9" by 5" loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer half of the batter into the loaf pan and smooth out the bottom. Use a spoon to transfer half a cup of nutella on top, letting it fall off the spoon in ribbons over the batter.
Add the rest of the batter on top and drizzle the remaining nutella on top. Use a knife to swirl it. Sprinkle the remaining hazelnuts on top.
Bake the nutella banana bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes. The banana bread is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out only covered in nutella (and not in banana bread batter). Let it cool before removing from the pan and slicing.
