This recipe is built around very ripe banana, browned butter and ribbons of chocolate hazelnut spread, keeping the loaf moist with distinct Nutella swirls.

Banana Bread all'Italiana (Italian Banana Bread) This is a banana bread built the way an Italian kitchen would build it: olive oil instead of butter, Greek yogurt for tenderness, orange zest for perfume and toasted walnuts for crunch. The crumb is moist, close and fragrant, the crust deeply golden with a crackle of raw sugar. It slices cleanly, keeps for days and tastes better on the second morning than the first. Yield: 1 loaf, 10 slices. Prep: 20 minutes. Bake: 55 to 60 min
