  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 6 large muffins

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar, packed light or dark
  • 2 Large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream, room temperature
  • 3 Ripe bananas
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Additional

  • 2/3 cup Nutella

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with 6 muffin liners spaced evenly, leaving every other cup empty to allow for a larger rise in the muffins.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside to keep the dry ingredients well combined.
  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly using a potato masher or fork. Add the melted and cooled unsalted butter, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk all wet ingredients together until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet banana mixture. Gently mix until just combined—avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
  5. Melt Nutella: Place the Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds or until it becomes easily spreadable but not too hot.
  6. Assemble Muffins: Using a cookie scoop, place one scoop of batter into each muffin liner. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted Nutella on top of the batter in each liner. Use a butter knife to lightly swirl the Nutella into the batter. Add another scoop of batter to fill the liner almost fully, then add another teaspoon of Nutella on top and swirl again gently.
  7. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure to spoon and level the flour or use a kitchen scale to avoid dry muffins due to compacted flour.
  • For high altitude baking, add an extra 2 tablespoons of flour to the recipe.
  • For best results, pull out dairy ingredients like butter and sour cream about 2 hours before baking to reach room temperature.
