My family is super fussy about bananas -  The second a banana gets a single brown spot, nobody wants to even touch it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wait for those bananas to ripen. That\u2019s when the magic happens. They become the star ingredient in the best baked treats. I\u2019ve used overripe bananas in everything from banana cinnamon pancakes<\/a> to walnut and fig banana bread.<\/a> But these banana Nutella muffins might be my favorite use yet. Honestly? They disappear the moment they come out of the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you love banana desserts, you should also try my banana scones<\/a>, banana baked oatmeal<\/a>, or coffee banana cake.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n

Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Labelled<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Flour<\/strong>: I used all-purpose flour for a soft, tender crumb. I have also made these using a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour, and it works very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bananas: <\/strong>The darker and spottier, the sweeter the Nutella swirled banana muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutella <\/strong>is the star ingredient. It creates those beautiful chocolate swirls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon<\/strong> powder is a must, because if there is a match made in heaven, then it surely is banana and cinnamon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar<\/strong>: I used brown sugar, but regular granulated sugar, coconut sugar, or cane sugar will also work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk<\/strong>: I like the slight sweetness of coconut milk in this recipe, but feel free to use any milk of your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vinegar<\/strong>: Apple cider or regular white, either works to make the buttermilk, which is essential to the Nutella banana muffins recipe. It makes them tender and beautifully moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coconut oil <\/strong>adds moisture and keeps them light. You can use any neutral vegetable oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vanilla extract<\/strong> gives a warm, cozy flavor. Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please see the recipe card below for full information about the ingredients and quantities.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use different nut butters.<\/strong> You can add almond butter, as I did for my almond butter cup<\/a>, or peanut butter (as I did with my peanut butter oat cups<\/a>) as Nutella substitutes. You can even swirl in Biscoff spread instead, as I did for my Biscoff banana bread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add more mix-ins.<\/strong> Throw in some chopped walnuts, raisins, or dates. Mix in some chocolate chips as I did for my chocolate chip muffins<\/a>. This is a great basic batter for moist banana bread-style muffins.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
