These Nutella swirled banana muffins are soft, moist, and packed with sweet banana flavor and a rich chocolate-hazelnut swirl on top. A simple and satisfying treat for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup Nutella, slightly warmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add sugar, egg, oil (or butter), and vanilla; mix until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Add about 1 teaspoon of Nutella to the top of each muffin and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (excluding melted Nutella).
  8. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Mini chocolate chips can be added for extra chocolate flavor.
  • Swap Nutella for peanut butter or almond butter for a different twist.
  • Use mini muffin tins and reduce bake time to 10–12 minutes for bite-sized versions.
  • Warm Nutella slightly to make swirling easier and cleaner.
  • Use gluten-free 1:1 flour blend for a gluten-free version.
