Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 extremely ripe (even brown) bananas, mashed
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute 1/2 cup with whole wheat flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Additional

  • 2/3 cup Nutella
  • Cooking spray for muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Spray 6 giant or 12 regular muffin cups with cooking spray and place them in a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter, stirring until well blended. Next, add the eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Mix until the wet ingredients are fully combined and set aside.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  4. Fold Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full for regular muffins, or to the top for giant muffins.
  6. Add Nutella Swirl: Microwave the Nutella for about 20 seconds to soften it. Drizzle the melted Nutella over the batter in each muffin cup. Using a knife, gently swirl the Nutella through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  7. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake giant muffins for 20-25 minutes or regular muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a healthier twist, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • Make sure bananas are very ripe for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • You can use dairy or non-dairy Greek yogurt depending on dietary preferences.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain muffin tenderness.
  • These muffins freeze well; store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
  • Adjust Nutella quantity according to your sweetness preference.
  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing.
