Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large very ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Nutella (or other chocolate hazelnut spread)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the muffin pan: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with 13 paper or silicone liners to ensure easy removal and cleaning.
  2. Mash bananas and combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mash the ripe bananas. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the egg, whisking until evenly mixed. Then stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Mix dry ingredients into wet mixture: Sprinkle the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour over the banana mixture. Quickly whisk the dry ingredients together, then gently fold them into the wet mixture just until no white streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing, which can make muffins tough.
  4. Fill muffin liners with batter: Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, fill each muffin liner about two-thirds full with the batter, ensuring even distribution.
  5. Swirl Nutella on top: Warm Nutella in the microwave for about 15 seconds until softened. Drop a dollop of Nutella on top of each muffin batter portion. Insert a toothpick and gently swirl the Nutella into the batter creating a marbled effect.
  6. Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 19-23 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  7. Cool and store: Remove muffins from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container layered with paper towels on the top and bottom to maintain moisture and freshness.

Notes

  • Using very ripe bananas enhances sweetness and banana flavor.
  • Warming Nutella slightly makes swirling easier and prettier.
  • Paper or silicone liners help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Store muffins at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Do not overmix batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
