# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder

03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

06 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar

07 - 2 large eggs, room temperature

08 - 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

10 - 1/2 cup Nutella, slightly warmed

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

The chocolate hazelnut swirl transforms ordinary banana muffins into something that feels like a special occasion breakfast
They come together in under 40 minutes start to finish, making them perfect for sudden cravings or unexpected guests

Overripe bananas with lots of brown spots actually make the most flavorful and moist muffins, so dont wait until theyre black
Warming the Nutella slightly makes it much easier to swirl and creates better distribution throughout the batter

Use an ice cream scoop to fill the muffin cups evenly and avoid messy drips
Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding the eggs, or you might accidentally scramble them
