Banana Nutella Swirl Muffins
Banana Nutella Swirl Muffins are a delightful fusion of ripe bananas and the rich, chocolate-hazelnut spread known as Nutella. The base of these muffins is often a moist banana bread-like batter, which provides a comforting, sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with the decadent swirls of Nutella. As the muffins bake, the Nutella not only adds a creamy texture but also creates an attractive marbled effect that makes each muffin visually unique.
Equipment
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- 3 large over-ripe Bananas mashed
- 1/2 cup 112g Golden Caster sugar
- 1/2 cup 112g Brown Sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup 60ml vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 2 cups 250g Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- Nutella approx 30 teaspoons
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to gas mark 4 or 180•C. In a large bowl, combine the bananas, golden caster sugar and brown sugar.
- In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg, oil and vanilla.
- Add the egg mixture to the large bowl and whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and give it a mix with a spoon.
- Add the flour to the banana and egg mixture and whisk.
- I wanted to make sure there was an even distribution of Nutella throughout the muffin, so I did this in 2 stages. Firstly, fill the muffin cases halfway and add 1 teaspoon of Nutella and use a cocktail stick or skewer to swirl it around – it doesn’t have to be neat!
- Then top it up with more of the batter to fill the case 3/4 way up and add another teaspoon of Nutella and do more swirling, but this time do it nicely, as you will be able to see the swirl effect once baked.
- Bake for approximately 15-20 mins depending on your oven and ENJOY this banana, chocolate, hazelnutty goodness!
