Nutella Banana Muffins (Print View)

Moist banana muffins with swirling Nutella, ready in 35 minutes for 12 fluffy treats.

# What You Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - ½ cup vegetable oil
04 - ½ cup plain yogurt
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 1⅔ cups all-purpose flour
07 - ⅔ cup granulated sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - ½ teaspoon baking soda
10 - ¼ teaspoon salt

→ Swirl

11 - ½ cup Nutella, softened

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring to ensure even distribution.
04 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain tender texture.
05 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow for rising.
06 - Warm the Nutella slightly if needed. Drop about 1 teaspoon on top of each muffin and use a skewer or toothpick to swirl into the batter creating a marbled effect.
07 - Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean except for melted Nutella.
08 - Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These muffins stay incredibly moist for days thanks to the banana and yogurt combination
  • The Nutella swirl creates these gorgeous marbled pockets that make every bite feel like a special treat
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter will make these dense and tough instead of fluffy
  • The Nutella sinks slightly while baking, so swirl gently but don't overdo it or you'll lose those beautiful marbled pockets
03 -
  • Let your bananas get almost completely black before using them for the most intense banana flavor
  • If your Nutella is too firm to swirl, microwave it for 10 seconds but watch closely so it doesn't get too runny
