Equipment

  • Muffin Tin
  • Cupcake Liners

Ingredients

Muffins:

  • ½ cup Nutella
  • 3 Very ripe bananas
  • cup Brown Sugar
  • 2-¼ cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp. Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Large eggs lightly beaten
  • cup Milk
  • ¼ cup Unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract

Nutella Glaze:

  • 3 tablespoon Nutella
  • 1 cup Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Milk

Instructions

Nutella Filling:

  • A few hours - or the night - before making the muffins, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use two small spoons to scoop small amounts of Nutella - about 2 teaspoons worth - onto the prepared pan. You’ll need 12 little mounds / balls of Nutella.
  • Place in the freezer until solid.

Banana Muffins:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line 12 muffin cups with liners, or spray with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Peel bananas. In another bowl, mash bananas and brown sugar together until relatively smooth.
  • Add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla, stir until well combined.
  • Add banana mixture to the flour mixture, stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy.)
  • Spoon some batter into muffin cups, filling each about ⅓ full.
  • Place one frozen Nutella lump in the center of each muffin cup, leaving room around each one.
  • Divide the remaining batter between the muffin cups, allowing the batter to fully encase the filling.
  • Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
  • (Note: Only insert it about ⅓ of the way down. If you hit Nutella, it’ll be wet no matter how done it is!)
  • Allow muffins to cool slightly, then prepare the drizzle:

Nutella Drizzle:

  • Whisk together the Nutella and about half of the powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar, a little at a time, continuing to whisk until it’s thick and completely incorporated.
  • Add the milk, whisk until smooth. You want it VERY thick, but you can add extra milk if you need.
  • Remove muffins from muffin cups; drizzle with glaze, and serve warm!

Leftovers

  • Cool leftover muffins to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container for storage in the fridge.
  • If you don’t care about keeping the drizzle pretty, you can toss them in a freezer bag - we do!
  • Muffins will be good for about 5 days or so, best when served reheated at least to room temperature.

Notes

For a thin drizzle as pictured, heat the glaze in the microwave for about 20 seconds and whisk well.
You'll want to drizzle this immediately, while it's still warmed.
ALSO:
Nutrition information shows a bit higher than reality - it makes more glaze than you'll need, for ease of use.
