Nutella Bread...Yes, Yum

Thursday, January 29, 2015

Alright, so I'm supposed to be making healthy recipes, since I'm trying to lose weight, but I was craving something chocolate-y, so I pulled out my hand-mixer, raided my cabinets, and ended up making my own, from-scratch whole-wheat Nutella bread recipe that will knock your socks off!



Ingredients

* 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
* 6 oz. unsweetened applesauce
* 1 large egg
* 4 oz. butter (softened)
* 3/4 cup Nutella
* 1/4 cup Hershey's dark chocolate syrup
* 1 Tbs. olive oil (any oil is ok)
* 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
* 1 tsp. baking powder
* tsp. baking soda

Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. 
Use a hand mixer (or standing mixer) to mix ingredients together. Mix until thoroughly combined and smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Grease a bread pan or small baking dish and add mixture to pan. 
Let cook in oven for 25-40 minutes. This really depends on the oven, so keep an eye on it. Mine seems to take a while.

This recipe makes approximately 12 medium-large slices of bread and averages out to around 280 calories per slice. Slightly sinful, but yummy! Drink with almond milk for a delicious experience ;)
