Nutella Banana Bread Muffins

I thought I’d post a fun and easy homemade muffin recipe today for Nutella swirled banana muffins. These are really delicious and a great treat when you are looking for something sweet. My kids are huge fans of banana bread so they were over the moon for these.

You can pop them in little cups for lunchboxes or a quick grab n go breakfast. These are also fun if you are snack mom for soccer games and such or if you are planning to make Brunch for Easter or Mother’s Day.

Everyone loves muffins so these are a pretty safe bet when you bake a homemade treat too.

Nutella Swirl Banana Muffins
Author: My Frugal Adventures
Recipe type: Breakfast, Snacks
Prep time:  10 mins
Cook time:  17 mins
Total time:  27 mins
Serves: 12
 
Quick and easy nutella and banana swirled muffins
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ C. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1 C. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ C. of butter, softened
  • 3 bananas, mashed
  • ⅓ C. Nutella
  • 12 count muffin tin, greased or 12 Silicone baking cups (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
  3. In a separate medium sized bowl mash the bananas. Slightly overripe bananas work the best.
  4. Slowly stir in the sugar, eggs and softened butter.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until mixed.
  6. Pour the mixture into the muffin tins filling them about ⅔ of the way full.
  7. Once all your cups are filled microwave the Nutella for 10-15 seconds – just long enough to slightly soften.
  8. Using a teaspoon, place a small scoop of Nutella directly on top of each muffin.
  9. Once they all have a dollop of Nutella on top – use a butter knife to swirl into the muffin mixture.
  10. Bake for 15-17 minutes until golden brown.

Banana Nutella Swirled Muffins

I used these cute Silicone Baking Cups to make the muffins and just swirled the Nutella in the center with a butter knife.  I found it easier to put a scoop of Nutella in a bowl and warm it slightly in the microwave.  That made it much easier to swirl.

If you have little ones and might want to send these off for school lunches- these little Glad Tupperware containers are so handy.

I think these are disposable containers but I have seriously had them for at least a year and we wash them regularly in the dishwasher and they have really held up.

If you decide to try these muffins please come back and let me know what you think!

For another quick breakfast idea, you might like this Crock Pot Maple and Brown Sugar Steel Cut Oats recipe.  You can make one big batch and then portion into mason jars for quick breakfast all week.

And another quick idea is this Peach and Mango Smoothie.  Again just mix it up the night before and grab on your way out the door:

    Oh my! Looks so yummy..can’t wait to try these. You post the most wonderful recipes. And may I add that I really appreciate that your recipes do not include all the “junk” that we do not need. Loved your recipe for whipped cream. So good.

    Ali, I am so glad! Thanks for letting me know!

    Made the banana/nutella muffins today and they were a hit with the family! I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the mashed bananas because that is what I do with banana bread and we love it. Great way to use the ripened, frozen bananas in the freezer. Thanks for the recipe.

  5. Charlene says

    04/17/2014 at 8:00 AM

    So glad Lisa! Have you ever tried Mexican vanilla? That adds a lot to baked goods 🙂

  6. Lisa P says

    04/17/2014 at 10:11 AM

    Yes I have.Back in my party days of youth with weekend trips to Tijuanna, I made sure to bring back a bottle of vanilla.(Dating myself, pre-internet shopping) Now you can easily pick it up at local stores.I am using a generic bottle from Costco now.Not sure where it is from but I know it is real, not imitation.

    LOL! I have had a few Spring break trips to Papas and Beers in Rosarito myself ;D

    Funny. Me too. Thanks for reminding me about the Mexican vanilla. I am going to pick up a bottle the next time I am at a Latin grocery store and see if there is a difference versus what I use now. Good times.:)

    1 cup seems like a lot of sugar for 12 muffins. i cut it back to 1/2 cup and it still looked like a ton! they are in the oven now so we’ll see how they come out!

  10. Christine says

    04/19/2014 at 5:33 AM

    update……1/2 cup sugar was PLENTY! could have probably cut it back even more.

  11. Charlene says

    04/19/2014 at 11:45 AM

    Christine- you can always decrease the sugar in any recipe. If it looks like too much then just reduce. I always adapt things slightly to my own taste.

    Hi Charlene

    I just made this and it is delicious!
    I was wondering if I should add baking powder next time?

  13. Charlene says

    08/02/2014 at 7:16 AM

    Hi Vivian! So glad you liked the muffins. I think the baking powder just makes the muffins fluffier but I didn’t think the muffins needed it 🙂

  14. Ariana says

    I just made these. I used 1/3 cup of sugar and they were great. These were a big hit with my family. Thank you Charlene!

  15. Charlene says

    09/02/2014 at 4:55 PM

    Oh so glad to hear it Ariana :). Thanks for the tip on the sugar reduction!

    Nutella muffins??? YES! I make these on a regular basis, do you have nutritional information so I can add them to myfitnesspal app? thanks so much for a great recipe!

  19. Charlene says

    10/06/2014 at 9:43 PM

    Sorry Eileen I don’t. I usually just enter stuff in here if I need the calorie count. My Fitness Pal has one too but I haven’t done it for this recipe. So glad you liked it 🙂

    Delicious!

    I think I will try them with less sugar next time. The kids love them as is, but they are too sweet for my personal taste.

    Thank you for a great recipe!

  27. Charlene says

    10/18/2018 at 8:45 AM

    Glad the kids like them Michelle! Nutella is pretty sweet for me too- 🙂

  28. Kristina says

    These were so good! And easier and faster to make than banana bread! Definitely will be making again.

  29. Charlene says

    09/13/2019 at 5:43 PM

    Yeah! Happy to hear that Kristina!
