Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin.
  • Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well before adding the next, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed bananas and sour cream.
  • Fold in the Nutella gently to ensure it's well distributed.
  • If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Fill the muffin cups about ⅔ full with batter.
  • Dollop extra Nutella on top of each muffin and swirl it in with a toothpick.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. Do not overmix to keep the muffins tender.
