Quick Note
Hazelnuts – it is optional. You don’t need to use it or you can replace it with the walnuts.
Eggs – large, organic. Please use the room temperature eggs for this recipe.
Vanilla extract – please use the pure vanilla extract. The best place to buy it is the Winners.
Bananas – I used very ripe bananas. (dark, dark baby bananas)
Nutella – I did not bake in Nutella like Giada’s recipe requested. But I like to use Nutella with this recipe. (a lot) I like to serve baked pieces of banana bread with Nutella. This is how I like it. (Why I would torture Nutella to be baked in?)
