Preheat the oven to 350 F (170 C). Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on two sides.

Step 1:  

In a small bowl mash about 3 - 4 medium bananas to measure 1 ½ cups mashed banana.

Step 2:  

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together until well combined.

Step 3:  

In another large mixing bowl, melt the butter and cool for 5 - 10 minutes to room temperature. Whisk the sugar, mashed banana, yogurt, vanilla extract and eggs into the cooled melted butter until smooth and well combined. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.

Step 4:  

In a small bowl, melt the Nutella in 15 second increments until the hazelnut spread easily drizzles.

Step 5:  

Layer the banana bread batter with swirls of melted Nutella in this order: 1/3 banana bread batter, ¼ cup Nutella spread, 1/3 banana bread batter, ¼ cup Nutella spread, final 1/3 of the banana bread batter with the final ¼ cup Nutella spread swirled on top. Make sure to swirl deep swirls of the Nutella in each banana bread layer.

Step 6:  

Bake the banana and Nutella bread for 55 - 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out with a few moist (not wet or gummy) crumbs. Cool the banana bread with Nutella swirls in the loaf pan for 15 minutes.
