Nutella Banana Split Bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Whisk together flour baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Combine bananas and cream in another bowl.

Cream sugar and butter in a third bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture in 2 batches alternating with the banana mixture beating batter briefly after each addition. Fold in chocolate chips and pecans. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until melted about 25 seconds. Pour over the batter in the pan and swirl in with a knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean 60 to 70 minutes.

While the bread is baking whisk the brown sugar half-and-half butter and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it thickens 5 to 7 minutes. Add vanilla and cook until a bit thicker about 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Pour sauce into a jar and refrigerate until cold.

Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with caramel sauce.
