Delicious chocolate hazelnut bread is made with Nutella spread, giving it an unbelievable flavor and texture. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a mid-day snack, this amazing bread will make every day a little bit sweeter.

I recently found multiple jars of Nutella in my pantry. My mom has been getting them on sale and bringing them to me whenever she sees me. While I like Nutella I can only eat so much.

That means I’ve been looking for things to bake with Nutella in them. I’ve made several types of muffins with them so I wanted to make something different.

I found several different recipes and decided to make the Easy Nutella Bread first. While the basic recipe sounded decent I didn’t like that there wasn’t any butter or oil in it and there weren’t any eggs.

I played around with the recipe and came up with one that I thought would work. I added in both the butter and the egg that I wanted in my Nutella Bread.

Ingredients:

all purpose flour
baking powder (make sure it’s fresh and not expired)
salt
butter (I used salted but you can use unsalted)
granulated sugar
egg
milk (whole milk works best)
Nutella (or another hazelnut chocolate spread)

The batter came together quickly and was the consistency I was looking for. I poured it into the prepared pan and let it bake.

I pulled it out of the oven when the top and sides were totally cooked through and the middle was just about done. It will continue cooking for a few more minutes and I didn’t want it to be dry so I tend to take it out a few minutes early.

What is Nutella?

Nutella is a chocolate hazelnut spread. It is sweet and mostly tastes like chocolate but it does have a subtle flavor from the hazelnuts.

Can I bake these as muffins?

I am sure that you can but I have not tried it. If you are attempting it, I would put the batter into muffin cups and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.

Can I add anything to the bread?

You can add 3/4 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter. Then bake as directed.

Once the bread has cooled you can leave it as is or you can add a glaze to the top of it. I chose to leave my bread alone as I thought it was already sweet enough but a dark chocolate glaze or a chocolate buttercream would be delicious on top of the bread.

You can enjoy your bread plain or put a spread on it. It’s yummy with butter or strawberry jam on it. You can also add a smear of Nutella on a slice to give it more of that rich, chocolate hazelnut flavor.

More Nutella Recipes:

The bread has a light chocolate flavor. I didn’t get much of the hazelnut flavor so next time I may substitute a half cup of hazelnut flour for a half cup of all purpose flour.

To store the bread cover it or put it in an air tight container for up to 4 days. You can also wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in a freeze bag to freeze it for up to 3 months.
