Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 large Bananas (ripe) The riper, the better! They add natural sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) For richness and a lovely buttery flavor.
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar To enhance the sweetness of the muffins.
  • 1 large Egg Binds everything together for a tender crumb.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Provides moisture and brings the batter together.
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour The base for our muffins, providing structure.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder The secret to a nice rise and fluffy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda Helps the muffins rise and provides a lovely crumb.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavors beautifully.
  • 1/2 cup Nutella The star of the show, adding a rich hazelnut chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add the melted butter and whisk to combine, creating a beautiful glossy mixture.
  4. Mix in the sugar, egg, and milk until everything is incorporated.
Dry Mixing
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling them about halfway.
  2. Add a dollop of Nutella on top of each muffin.
  3. Using a toothpick or knife, swirl the Nutella gently into the batter.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
