Step-by-Step Instructions for Nutella Banana Swirl Muffins
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners or cooking spray.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth, then mix in 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 beaten large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour until just incorporated.
  5. Fill muffin cups halfway with batter and create a small well in the center.
  6. Add 1 tablespoon of Nutella into each well and cover with more batter, filling cups to two-thirds full.
  7. Swirl the Nutella on top with a toothpick or skewer, being careful not to over-mix.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
