Fluffy banana muffins swirled with rich chocolate-hazelnut spread for the perfect breakfast treat.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
06 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Swirl

10 - 1/2 cup Nutella, slightly warmed

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
03 - Whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
04 - Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
05 - Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
06 - Drop about 1 teaspoon of Nutella onto each muffin. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl into the batter.
07 - Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for some Nutella).
08 - Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The banana bread flavor you love meets pockets of gooey chocolate hazelnut goodness
  • These come together in under 40 minutes with pantry staples you probably already have
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter will make these tough and dense—fold gently and stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Warm your Nutella for 15 seconds in the microwave for the smoothest, most marble-like swirls
03 -
  • Use bananas that are completely covered in brown spots for maximum sweetness and moisture
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for taller, more tender muffins
