Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk or yogurt
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (for swirling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  3. Whisk in melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk or yogurt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Add a small spoonful of Nutella to the top of each muffin and swirl it gently with a toothpick or knife.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
  • Add chocolate chips or chopped hazelnuts for extra richness and texture.
  • Use mini muffin tins for bite-sized versions, adjusting the bake time to 10–12 minutes.
  • Store at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
