Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup Nutella for batter
- 1/3 cup additional Nutella for stuffing
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine melted butter and peanut butter, stirring until smooth.
- Add milk and egg to the butter mixture, whisking until incorporated.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and 1/4 cup Nutella, leaving light streaks throughout the batter.
- Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter into each muffin cup.
- Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each cup of batter.
- Top with another 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter to cover the Nutella completely.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the muffin (not the center) comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
- For best results, use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Freeze small dollops of Nutella before assembly to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
