Description
Nutella banana swirl muffins are soft, moist banana muffins with rich swirls of creamy Nutella on top. They’re quick to make, full of cozy flavor, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a sweet treat any time of day.
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3–1/2 cup Nutella (slightly warmed)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, sugars, eggs, oil (or butter), and vanilla until smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir just until combined—do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
- Add a small spoonful of Nutella on top of each muffin. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center (avoiding Nutella) comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use extra-ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Swirl some Nutella into the batter for even more chocolate flavor inside.
- Add mini chocolate chips or chopped hazelnuts for texture.
- For mini muffins, bake for 10–12 minutes.
