Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3: Prepare Wet Mixture

In a separate large bowl, mash the bananas.
Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5: Fill Muffin Cups

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

Step 6: Add Nutella Swirl

Place a teaspoon of Nutella on top of each muffin.
Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the Nutella into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

Step 7: Bake and Cool

Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Banana Ripeness: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be.
Preventing Nutella from Sinking: Swirling Nutella on top ensures it stays on the surface rather than sinking to the bottom.
Lighter Texture: Use half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour for a slightly denser but still soft muffin.
