Story Behind the Banana Nutella Muffins

I love a good muffin. In fact, they are one of my favorite types of bread. It’s really hard for me to say no to a warm muffin that just came out of the oven.

If you’ve been here a while, you also know that I love banana bread and chocolate. So why not combine the two? I got the idea of the Nutella swirl from Baking with Blondie, but decided to create it my own recipe for it.

The day that I made these, I put them out for my kids after-school snack. They were gobbled up before I could even get my hands on one. You know it’s a good recipe when that happens.

If you are like my family at all, your kids are either going through a love relationship with bananas, or they hate them. I buy a ton thinking they are going to eat them all like they did the previous week, but low and behold, they hate them this week. Go figure!

So if you have a few ripe bananas sitting around, whip up this recipe to help get your daily fruits in.

F.A.Q.S for Banana Nutella Muffins

Can I use peanut butter instead?

I get it. Not everyone loves Nutella. I think peanut butter would be an excellent substitute if I say so myself.

Can I use cupcake liners?

You definitely can. However, I rarely use them for muffins because I feel like you lose a lot of muffin because it sticks to the wrapper. I found these pop right out of the muffin tin if it is greased properly.

Can I sub the butter?

If you are wanting a little less butter in your muffins, sub half of the butter with applesauce. Applesauce is a great replacement without sacrificing flavor and texture.
