  • "Hazelnut spread with cocoa is an undiscovered food pleasure for so many people. Swirling it into banana bread is the perfect way to showcase its flavor. Each year when the holidays roll around, I begin baking loaves of this decadent banana bread to give to neighbors. Tucked into a cellophane bag with a festive ribbon, it’s the perfect homemade gift." - Lori Lange
