equipment

ingredients

  • 4 medium overly ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/4 cup mashed)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup Nutella

instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
  • Add mashed bananas, coconut oil, honey, eggs, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • In each paper-lined cup, add 1 1/2 Tbsp muffin batter. Top each with 1 heaping teaspoon of Nutella in the center. Finish each cup off with 1 1/2 Tbsp of batter to completely cover the Nutella.
  • Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, until baked through. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean of muffin batter (there will be some Nutella on it!).
    Serve immediately, or store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

notes

Store.Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 days. The best way to keep the muffins moist is to wrap them in plastic wrap!
Freeze. When freezing, be sure to wrap each individually in a layer of plastic wrap. Add them to a large resealable freezer-friendly bag. They will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Reheat. From room temperature, you can either eat as it or reheat for 15 seconds in the microwave to make the center all gooey again.
From frozen, thaw at room temperature overnight and warm in the microwave if desired. To heat up from frozen, I like to place mine in a 350˚F oven for 10 to 15 minutes. You can also place a frozen muffin in the microwave for about 30 seconds until thawed.
