Nutella Swirl Banana Muffins
Banana muffins with a sweet Nutella swirl on top! Nutella Banana Muffins are a great after school snack and a delicious way to use up those ripe brown bananas.
Servings 18 muffins
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-muffin pan with liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar, until light and fluffy. About 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the eggs, vanilla, milk, and mashed bananas. Beat together until combined.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Blend on low speed just until combined.
- Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full with the banana muffin batter. Dollop (about a teaspoon) of Nutella on top of the batter in each muffin cup. Take a toothpick and gently (don't swirl deep into the muffin) swirl the Nutella into the top of the banana muffin. You should be able to see the swirl pattern on top of the muffin.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes. Muffins should be slightly rounded and the top center of the muffin should look done, and a toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean, with no wet batter.
- Let cool in the muffin pan for about 10 minutes. Remove the cooked muffins to a cooling rack to cool completely or eat one warm!
Notes
These muffins are even better the next day. Simply store them covered on the countertop (room temperature). I place mine on a plate and cover with plastic wrap or the press n' seal wrap.
Use any milk you want. I have made these with 1% milk and whole milk and it's turned out fine each time.
