Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Paper liners or non-stick spray
  • Mixing bowls
  • Toothpick

Ingredients
  

For the banana muffin base:

  • 3 overripe bananas browner = better for sweetness
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or oil if preferred
  • 3/4 cup sugar reduce to 1/2 cup for very ripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt THE secret to moist muffins

For the Nutella swirl:

  • 1/2 cup Nutella room temp
  • 1 tbsp milk for easier swirling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Mash bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth. Stir in melted butter, then add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Sprinkle baking soda and salt over the mixture, then gently fold in the flour. Mix until no dry streaks remain. Fold in Greek yogurt with just 3-4 strokes.
  • Mix Nutella with 1 tbsp milk until smooth. Microwave for 10 seconds if too firm.
  • Fill each muffin cup 1/3 full with batter. Add a teaspoon of Nutella to each. Top with remaining batter until cups are 3/4 full. Use a toothpick to swirl Nutella.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let muffins cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Notes

Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
Don't overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins.
For a gluten-free option, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil and plant-based yogurt.
