Ingredients

Scale

Banana Muffin Batter

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Nutella Swirl

  • 1/2 cup Nutella (warmed slightly if too firm)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Egg: Mix in the baking soda, salt, and sugar. Then add the beaten egg and vanilla extract, stirring until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the banana mixture until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Layer Batter and Nutella: Spoon half of the batter into the prepared muffin tin, creating a small well in the center of each muffin cup. Add about a teaspoon of Nutella into each well, then cover with the remaining batter.
  6. Swirl Nutella: Using a toothpick or knife, gently swirl the Nutella through the batter to create a beautiful marbled effect.
  7. Bake: Place the muffins in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • If Nutella is too firm, warm it slightly in the microwave for easier swirling.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour to avoid tough muffins.
  • Use a toothpick to check doneness—if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are ready.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
