Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease muffin tins or line with muffin liners. Use 8 jumbo size muffin cups or 15 regular ones depending what size muffins you want.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the sugar and melted butter.
- Mix in the eggs, yogurt and vanilla until smooth.
- Incorporate the mashed bananas until mixed in.
- Now add the dry ingredients gradually to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Don’t over-mix.
- Fold in any add-ins you want to use (optional).
- Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about ¾ full
- Add a tablespoon of Nutella to the center of each muffin and either use a chopstick to swirl or leave it as is.
- Bake for 25 minutes for jumbo muffins or 19 to 20 minutes for regular size, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a crumb or 2.
- Let them cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Use ripe bananas: Very ripe bananas (ones with lots of brown patches) work best in banana Nutella muffins, offering the best flavor and amount of sweetness.
Mashing the bananas: Use a potato masher to mash the bananas.
Don't over-mix the batter: The ingredients should be just combined. Over-mixing results in dense muffins.
Check they're done: Use a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin to check for doneness. If there's wet batter on it when removed, give the muffins another few minutes and test again. They're done when the toothpick comes out clean or with just a couple of moist crumbs.
