Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Nutella and Banana Sandwich

[heart_this] · Mar 14, 2009 · 83 Comments

Nutella and Banana Sandwich

One of my favorite go to breakfasts, lunches and/or snacks are nutella and banana sandwiches. I almost always have all of the ingredients on hand and if you combine that with how yummy they are and how quick and easy they are to make, I tend to have them fairly often. Nutella goes really well with a lot of fruits, though banana seems to be the one that I keep coming back to. I normally eat them in sandwich fashion with two slices of bread but an open faced sandwich, or toast, also works really well. I sometimes even butter them up and grill them so that they are nice and golden brown on the outside and the nutella is warm and melted on the inside. You could also easily turn it into french toast for something a bit different.

    I have been eating Nutella since I was a little girl. Long before it became popular in the US, my family would bring it back with them from Italy. My friends were always jealous of the “chocolate” sandwiches I had. Eating it with bananas was always one of my favorites. I also love it with raspberry preserves, still one of my favorite combos.

    Next time, if you use two slices of bread when you do it, cover one in nutella, the other in peanut butter, layer the bananas in between and panini press it. That, my friend, is heaven.

    Mind you I also used to slather nutella on (lengthwise) banana slices. Yum.

    So simple, so perfectly yummy. Now clearly the next step is making your own nutella – have you ever done it?

    Toast hazelnuts in oven. Rub off skins with a towel. Pulverize in food processor. Add cocoa, drizzle in hazelnut (or walnut) oil to help liquify, then add powdered sugar to sweeten, a pinch of salt. Amazing stuff.

    YUM.. this used to be one of my favourite go-to breakfasts. I am so disappointed I developed an allergy to bananas, so I have switched to Nutella with sliced strawberries. Even though they don’t have the same creamy texture, the flavour is at least a good match.
