Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 225 g ripe mashed banana
  • 100 g light brown sugar
  • 57 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 50 g sour cream, at room temperature
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 120 g nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
  • 50 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Coarse sugar for topping, optional

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the mashed banana, brown sugar, butter, sour cream, egg, and vanilla until combined.
  2. To the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until the batter is just barely combined- it should be slightly thick and lumpy. Do not overmix.
  3. Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 1-2 days.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners, only filling every other liner so that no two muffins are directly touching. This helps the muffins rise higher.
  5. Fill each liner about 1/3 of the way full with the muffin batter.
  6. Add the nutella to a small bowl and microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until it melts and thins out. Spoon the melted nutella on top of the batter in each tin.
  7. Cover the nutella with the remaining batter, filling each tin all the way to the top.
  8. Sprinkle the top of each muffin with chocolate chips and a generous dusting of coarse sugar.
  9. Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425°F (177°C), then lower the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 13-15 minutes. The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  10. Remove the pan from the oven and set over a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove the muffins from the pan. Drizzle melted nutella over the tops of the muffins if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  11. Once cooled, store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.

Notes

  • Quickly bring ingredients to room temp: Place egg in a bowl with warm water for 10 minutes. Microwave sour cream for 5-10 seconds.
  • Plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk can be used in place of the sour cream if needed.
  • You can replace the nutella with any other spread, such as peanut butter, cookie butter, or almond butter if desired.
