Chocolate Chip Banana Nutella Muffins – Soft, fluffy banana muffins with chocolate chips and Nutella swirls!
Mmmmmmm, Nutella. How I love it. There can’t be a sweet baked good in the world that couldn’t be improved with the addition of Nutella, don’t you think?
Bananas and Nutella are simply a match made in heaven. These Nutella swirled chocolate chip banana muffins are a perfect example!
My boys are huge banana muffin fans and adding chocolate chips and swirls of Nutella just takes them to another level.
Now my two eldest boys are in their teens, they literally eat me out of house and home!
Keeping the food cupboard stocked with all their favourite snacks costs me a small fortune, especially in the Summer holidays! (Seriously, if anyone has any tips on how to keep teenage boys full up, let me know! Mine seem to have hollow legs!)
If supplies are running low and I have no time to pop to the shops, that’s when this recipe comes in very handy.
I always seem to have a few speckled bananas sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for me to use them up.
If I know I’m not going to have time to bake with them that week, I pop them in the freezer for future banana bakes.
Sometimes I make these muffins in my mini muffin tins and freeze them for another time – pop them in the microwave on the defrost setting for a minute or so and they’ll be perfect.
This recipe will give you 24 mini muffins.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins
Soft and fluffy banana muffins with chocolate chips and lots of creamy Nutella swirls!
Ingredients
- 250g Plain Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 100g caster Sugar or soft light brown sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 125ml Vegetable Oil
- 3 Ripe Bananas, mashed
- 100g Chocolate Chips
- 80g Nutella or other chocolate spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 12 hole muffin tin or two 12 hole mini muffin tin with liners
- Place the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of sofa and sugar in a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Measure out the oil in a jug, add the vanilla and crack in the eggs. Stir to mix.
- Fold in the bananas and the chocolate chips, remembering that a light hand will give you light muffins.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases, filling them halfway full. Place about a teaspoons worth of Nutella on top of the batter. Top with a little more muffin batter, making sure the Nutella is mostly covered. Place about another teaspoons worth of Nutella on top and using a table knife or skewer, lightly swirl the batter until you have a marbled effect.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until well risen and the muffins spring back when lighly pressed. Place a wire rack to cool. I highly recommend trying one while they are still slightly warm and the Nutella is still a little melty!

Do you know what? II reckon I could make these not only gluten free with a simple switch of flour but also egg free too…the secret is in the bananas…a tablespoon of ground chia or flaxseed and Bob’s your Uncle (or maybe he’s not, but I’ll have delicious cupcakes can eat π )
I think you could be onto something here! Let me know how they turn out if you try it ?
These look soooo tasty! I do love ways to use up bananas that are slightly riper.
These sound so good Nikki! Banana muffins are my go to for my boys who despite being only 4 and 7 eat like a horse lol. These would be perfect as a treat version with chocolate treat and Nutella, I know they would love it! Thank you for sharing with #BakingCrumbs π x
