Today on Twitter Maria, Two Peas and Their Pod, and Jenny, Picky Palate, were tweeting about all the wonderful things everyone’s been baking up with pumpkin lately. I bought a six pack of cans of pumpkin from Costco last month, but hadn’t found time to bake with it yet. Maria suggested making Pumpkin Nutella Bread, which sounded like a perfect idea and I headed into the kitchen.
Last May I made a fabulous Banana Nutella Bread, but I remember wishing that the Nutella was swirled throughout the bread instead of just swirled on top. (Okay, I may have even spread some Nutella on a slice or two.) So I decided to adapt my favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread recipe and do layers of Nutella swirled into the batter instead of chocolate chips.
I used a large ice cream scoop and spread three scoops of batter in the bottom of the loaf pan, added three little scoops of Nutella and swirled it in. I topped it with three more scoops of batter, three more scoops of Nutella swirled in and spread three more scoops of batter on top of the Nutella. I had concerns that the Nutella might be heavier than the batter and sink to the bottom, but the Nutella stayed nicely in place and I ended up with a beautiful swirl of Nutella throughout the bread.
I baked my Pumpkin Nutella Swirl Bread in my beautiful pumpkin pan I won last year from Jenny, Picky Palate! This bread is moist and tender and sweet and delicious. It makes a great after school snack but it’s also sweet enough to serve for dessert.

This looks superb! I have not yet tried the pumpkin/chocolate combination, but it sure looks good. I have a stack of leftover pumpkin from TWD in my freezer, so all ideas are welcome.
