Nutella Filled Banana Muffins

Low-sugar whole-grain (or gluten-free) Nutella stuffed Banana muffins.
Course: Breakfast, Dessert, Snack
Servings: 9 muffins
Calories: 142kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 very ripe bananas* (1 cup mashed) (about 240 g)
  • 1 large egg (flax egg might work)
  • 2 tbsp greek yogurt (I use 2%) (30 g)
  • 2 tbsp nutella (37 g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp whole wheat, all purpose or gf all purpose flour (105 g)
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (12 g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup nutella as filling (74 g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease a silicone muffin pan (I haven’t tried regular muffin pans so if you’re using one or even muffin liners make sure to grease well).
  • In a food processor, hand mixer or by hand blend together mashed banana, egg, yogurt, nutella, vanilla extract until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, baking powder.
  • Pour in the wet ingredients and fold until combined (do not overmix).
  • Fill 9 muffin cavities 1/3 of the way.
  • Drop a heaping tsp of nutella on each (about 8 g per muffin) and top with the rest of the batter until they’re 2/3 full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  • Let cool in the muffin pan a few minutes then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!

Notes

(*) You can probably sub applesauce for banana but I haven't tried this.
Keep refrigerated or frozen for maximum freshness and let come to room temperature before enjoying.
