Being avid chocolate enthusiasts, we couldn’t resist crafting a more indulgent spin on the traditional Nutella muffins. These naughty delights are the ideal sweet treat for those snug and cozy days.
While the ingredients remain quite similar to our classic Nutella muffins, we decided to enhance the nutritional profile by incorporating ripe bananas and wholesome oats. This addition not only imparts a richer flavor but also introduces a boost of nutrients to our muffins, making them a more wholesome indulgence.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 Cups All purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup Oats, old fashioned
- 1/3 Cup Sugar, granulated
- 3/4 Cup Milk
- 1/4 Cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 Banana, riped
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 12 TBS Nutella
- 1/2 Cup Chocolate chunks to sprinkle muffins on top
Instructions For Banana Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, sift all the dry ingredients (excluding sugar) and thoroughly combine.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the bananas, add the wet ingredients along with sugar, and mix well.
- Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, ensuring a thorough but gentle mix—avoid over-mixing.
- Spoon approximately a tablespoon of batter into each of the 12 muffin cups. Place a tablespoon of Nutella on top of each portion of batter.
- Cover the Nutella with the remaining batter and sprinkle chocolate chunks on top.
- Bake for approximately 13-15 minutes until done. Enjoy them slightly warm or allow them to cool completely.
Taking the time to sift the dry ingredients plays a role in elevating the moisture levels of these banana muffins. The meticulous process of sifting ensures that the dry components are evenly distributed, preventing clumps and resulting in a more uniform batter.
When I’m putting batter into each muffin tin, I’ve got a simple trick that works well. I use two spoons—one for scooping the batter and the other for getting the rest off the first spoon. This way makes the whole process smoother and faster, making it easier to fill up the muffin cups.
I use the same two-spoon trick when putting in the Nutella, but I go for smaller spoons. This helps me avoid adding too much Nutella, which could make the banana muffins extra indulgent. However, to keep things a bit on the healthier side, I stick to using smaller spoons.
I really enjoy these Nutella banana muffins when they’re just a bit warm. They have this amazingly rich taste that makes every calorie worth it. During the holidays, I find myself making these Nutella treats at least twice.
This banana muffins recipe, it’s all about the simple joy of savoring each bite. From the moist texture of the banana muffins to the delightful surprise of Nutella, this treat is amazing for chocolate lovers. So, whether enjoyed semi-warm or cooled, it’s an easy and satisfying recipe that adds a touch of comfort to any occasion.
