Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed (Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best sweetness and flavor)
  • 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
  • 1/2 cup Nutella (If too firm, warm it slightly in the microwave to make it easier to swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with liners or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas and Mix Butter: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork, then stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients and Sugar: Mix in the baking soda, pinch of salt, and sugar into the banana mixture to ensure an even blend of flavors.
  4. Incorporate Egg and Vanilla: Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract to the batter, stirring gently until smooth and fully combined.
  5. Fold in Flour: Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the wet ingredients just until combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin and Add Nutella: Spoon half of the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups. Create a small well in the center of each and add about a teaspoon of Nutella into each well, then cover with the remaining batter.
  7. Swirl Nutella: Use a toothpick or a knife to softly swirl the Nutella into the batter, creating a beautiful marbled effect throughout the muffins.
  8. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool Muffins: Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
