Ingredients
  

For the Muffins
  • 3 large Ripe Bananas Use very ripe, brown bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • 1/3 cup Butter Add richness; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 large Eggs Ensure they are at room temperature for best results.
  • 1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt Provides moisture; can be replaced with whole milk yogurt or sour cream.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor beautifully; no substitutions needed.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; feel free to substitute half with whole wheat flour for a denser muffin.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Essential for leavening; no substitutions needed.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Sweetens the muffins; adjust based on the ripeness of your bananas.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances all flavors; a small amount goes a long way.
  • 1/2 cup Nutella The star ingredient that creates a rich chocolate swirl; drizzle it on top before baking for best results.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your muffin cups by greasing either 6 giant or 12 regular-sized muffin tins.
  2. Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Mix in the melted butter, followed by the eggs, nonfat Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just incorporated, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Fill the prepared muffin cups about two-thirds full with batter.
  6. Microwave the Nutella for about 20 seconds to soften it, then drizzle it over the batter in each muffin cup and swirl gently.
  7. Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes for giant muffins or 15-20 minutes for regular-sized muffins, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
