World Nutella Day 2013.... The Banana-Nutella Brownie!

World Nutella Day!

Today, Februar 5th, is World Nutella Day, courtesy of Bleeding Espresso, Ms Adventures in Italy and World Nutella Day.  This is the second time that I have celebrated this wonderful day, the last post you can find here.  I originally found out about today from my bestie Decoy Betty..... this is just one of the reasons we're friends!

Banana-Nutella Brownies

This year, I decided to actually make a recipe involving Nutella.  After searching for a week (I wanted to pick a good one for my first time) I settled on Banana-Nutella Brownies.  I love, love, love Peanut Butter, Banana and Nutella sandwiches... so I really wanted a recipe that combined at least two of those ingredients.  The Brownies were absolutely the right pick.  Even Gilbert, who hates bananas and nutella (I know TRAVESTY), loved them.



I got the recipe from The Onyx Plate, who I believe took it from Bleeding Espresso.

Swirling's Harder Than it Looks Okay!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Butter
2/3 cup Brown Sugar
2/3 cup White Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 egg
2 cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder



Directions:
1) In large bowl, cream butter into sugar.
2) Add vanilla, egg and bananas.
3) Add flour and baking powder.
4) Spread mixture into greased 13x9 inch pan.
5) Swirl Nutella into top of mixure.  I think I probably could have added just a little but more than I did.  There's no set amount though, so feel free to add as much or as little as you want.

How did you celebrate World Nutella Day?
