How to Make Banana Nutella Muffins
INGREDIENTS –
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 overripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup Nutella, or your favorite chocolate hazelnut spread
DIRECTIONS –
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners, or grease with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, milk, and mashed ripe bananas, and stir until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix until just combined.
- Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling 3/4 full. Scoop a teaspoon of nutella onto the top of the batter, then use a toothpick to swirl the nutella into the batter.
- Bake muffins in the preheated oven for 15-17 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
VARIATION –
Nutella and banana were made to go together! If for some reason you are not a fan of Nutella, you could substitute peanut butter in its place and I’m sure they would still be delicious.
STORAGE –
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge. You can heat them up in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before eating again.
