Notes
Be sure to check the full post for more about the ingredients, variations, serving ideas, and more!
- The Best Bananas. Use ripe bananas with brown spots on their peel. These over-ripe bananas will make a sweeter muffin with more intense banana flavor.
- Muffins Are Done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin to check for doneness. If it comes out clean or with minimal crumbs, the muffins are finished.
- No-Mess. Spray your measuring cup before filling it with Nutella. It will slide right out and make less mess.
- Muffin Liners Are Best. Use paper liners or generously grease the entire muffin pan to ensure that your muffins release easily when done baking.
- Don't Over Mix. Be careful not to over mix your batter or your muffins will become dense.
