Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a fork until they are smooth and no large chunks remain.
- Add the rolled oats, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins tough.
- Warm the Nutella slightly in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more fluid and easier to swirl.
- Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. Drizzle a spoonful of Nutella on top of each muffin and use a toothpick to create a swirling pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins, so keep it light and fluffy!
- Swirl the Nutella: For a beautiful presentation, warm the Nutella slightly before adding it to the muffins. This makes it easier to swirl and creates a stunning marbled effect.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when they are done.
- Storage Tips: Keep your muffins fresh by storing them in an airtight container. They can last for up to 3 days at room temperature, or you can freeze them for longer storage.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit to make these muffins your own!
