Stir in bananas and eggs.

In separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt; stir into banana mixture until combined.

Pour batter evenly into mini-loaf tin.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool slightly. Unmold and transfer to rack; let cool completely.

Split each loaf in half lengthwise. Spread each bottom half with 1 tbsp Nutella^® hazelnut spread; cap with tops. Dust with confectioners’ sugar; pipe about 1 tsp Nutella^® hazelnut spread down along center of each loaf.

Tip: If the banana bread results are not flat on both sides, even up the surface by removing a thin slice with a knife.
