Dry Ingredients
  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
Wet Ingredients
  • 3 large very ripe bananas mashed, about 1.5 cups
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.33 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 0.75 cup Nutella slightly warmed

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Muffin tin
  • Muffin liners
  • Toothpick or skewer
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  3. In a medium bowl, mash bananas and mix with brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt until smooth.
  4. Add wet mixture to dry and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fill each muffin cup halfway with batter, add 1-2 tsp Nutella in center, then top with more batter to cover.
  6. Dollop extra Nutella on top and swirl with a toothpick.
  7. Bake 18-22 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean (avoid Nutella pockets).
  8. Cool in tin 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Notes

Warm Nutella slightly for easier swirling. Muffins stay moist for days in an airtight container.
