Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Nutella
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow oats to soften and absorb the liquid.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add brown sugar and eggs to the oat and milk mixture. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Warm the Nutella in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable. Swirl half of the Nutella into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the remaining Nutella on top and use a knife to create additional swirls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve. The bread can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for better ingredient integration and a smoother batter.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense bread.
- Nutella Swirl Technique: For the most beautiful marbling, warm the Nutella slightly and use a knife to create gentle, random swirls.
- Check for Doneness: Use the toothpick test - a few moist crumbs are okay, but the toothpick should come out mostly clean.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
- Storage Hack: Wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- Serving Suggestion: Enjoy slightly warmed with a pat of butter or a drizzle of extra Nutella for an indulgent treat!
