Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or greasing it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas, vegetable oil, Nutella, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry flour mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full to allow space for rising.
- Bake: Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
- Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, helping them set perfectly without becoming soggy.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Nutella can be substituted with any chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Make sure to check doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking.
- You can store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
