Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Nutella Banana Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth and stir in 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, then add 1 large egg and 0.33 cup of vegetable oil.
  4. Mix in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 0.5 cup of Nutella until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. If desired, fold in 0.5 cup of chocolate chips.
  7. Spoon the batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full and optionally topping with a dollop of Nutella.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For maximum sweetness, use overripe bananas. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep muffins tender. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
