Banana Nutella Muffins

Why do bananas wear sun lotion? Because they peel!

Awful right? I love bananas. I’m always the one that orders Banana. Banana milkshake, banana ice cream, banana yoghurt, name something that can be banana flavoured and I want it.
But not artificial banana, that horrible over sweet flavouring which you can only tell is banana because it’s on the label. No, it has to be real banana.

I love banana bread and banana cake, but my favourite way to use banana has to be in muffins. They are so versatile and you can add in whatever you like.
Recently i’ve added peanut butter and butterscotch and both have produced excellent muffins, but I think these have to be my favourite!

Who can say no to the classic Banana Nutella Muffins combination. It’s my favourite sandwich filling, my favourite pancake filling and my favourite oatmeal topping. Now it’s in handy little banana and Nutella muffins and it’s delicious!

I’ve seen lots of recipes that swirl Nutella onto the top of muffins, but these have Nutella mixed into the muffin batter and then layered between plain banana batter. So not only are they tasty, but they look pretty cool too!

Got some bananas looking sad and going a little brown? Banana Nutella Muffins are your answer!
