Description

These Nutella swirl banana muffins are soft, moist, and packed with rich banana flavor swirled with creamy Nutella. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a dessert, these muffins are easy to make and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

2–3 ripe bananas (mashed, about 1 ½ to 2 cups)
½ cup Nutella
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
¼ cup butter (softened)
¼ cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with butter or cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add sugar, softened butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Microwave the Nutella for 10–15 seconds to soften it. Add a small spoonful of Nutella to the top of each muffin and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it into the batter.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (Nutella smudges are okay). Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added texture, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter before baking. To make these muffins gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. They freeze well, so you can enjoy them anytime!
