NUTELLA AND BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

NUTELLA AND BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Confession: I cannot have jars of Nutella in my house. It’s a problem. I just like it too much! So, when the company sent me a couple jars, I knew I had to use them right away. I have another recipe coming up in a couple weeks, but I had to use this other jar immediately. I decided to try making Nutella and banana bread muffins. I’d seen a similar recipe online and they just looked so delicious. I also made these pumpkin Nutella bars a couple years ago, and they were a major hit at work. There’s just some so perfect mixing breads (like pumpkin and banana) with Nutella. The fruit and chocolate hazelnut just work so well together.

These Nutella and banana bread muffins are super easy to make. Even if you’re not much of a baker, I promise you can make this recipe. There are no complicated steps or equipment needed to make these.

The second batch, I spent more time making sure the Nutella and the batter were well swirled, which created some really beautiful muffins. I decided to share this version with you all because, well, they just looked prettier. They all tasted great, and the ones with the banana slices were definitely a little more banana-y, if that’s your thing.

No matter which version you make, you’ve gotta try these Nutella and banana bread muffins. They are so delicious – I promise your family will love them.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup old fashioned oats
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 bananas, mashed
• Nutella

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir until ingredients are well combined.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg. Add milk, oil, vanilla and mashed bananas. Sir to mix ingredients until well combined. Add flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until ingredients are incorporated, do no over stir.
3. Line a 12 muffin pan with 12 muffin tins or spray muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Divide batter evenly among the 12 muffin tins.
4. Add a teaspoon of Nutella to the top of each muffin and gently cut Nutella into batter with a knife or toothpick to produce pretty swirls. I also added a small amount of batter on top of the Nutella to make the swirling process easier.
5. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and a tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
6. Enjoy warm or stored in an airtight container for up to a week
