You’ve probably been told that if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s solid advice except you could make any number of lemon things like lemon cake or lemon pie, but what if life only has bananas left on the shelf?
Take them and make banana bread and don’t forget to thank life.

We’ve all had the brown squishy bananas in our kitchen. They sit there yearning to be peeled and added to something, but they deepen in color even more and then they hit the trash.
The truth is the darker they are the sweeter they’ll taste though it’s probably not a good idea to shove them in your lunchbox and open at work. But…make some banana bread and your co-workers will love you forever!
Be sure to tell those lucky co-workers that it’s not just plain banana bread, no way.
It’s full of crunchy hazelnuts and swirled with Nutella. You are so going to be employee of the month!

This banana bread is one in a million, no really there’s about a million recipes on the internet, but they don’t all have Nutella and hazelnuts. I adapted this from Martha Stewart, but I think she’ll be cool with that.
I also used a new flour from White Lily, it’s a blend of wheat flour and red grape seed flour and can be traced to the farm through a code on your bag, pretty cool!
