Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Nutella for filling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed ripe bananas, melted butter, sugar, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking soda. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the banana batter. Using a small spoon, add a dollop of Nutella in the center of each partially filled cup.
- Cover the Nutella with the remaining banana batter, filling each muffin cup about 3/4 full. This will create a hidden Nutella center.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle additional Nutella on top of the cooled muffins for extra indulgence before serving.
Tips
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture - the darker and spottier, the better!
- Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will ensure tender muffins.
- Freeze Nutella in small dollops beforehand to make it easier to place in the muffin center.
- For extra indulgence, use a piping bag to neatly add Nutella to the muffin centers.
- Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent them from falling apart.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer preservation.
