Good to know

Chef's tip

🧁 For an even more indulgent twist, you can add a few chopped walnuts to the muffin batter for extra crunch. Don't forget to check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the muffins; if it comes out clean, they're ready to enjoy!🍫

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good, up to 2 months, baked, in individual freezer bags or an airtight container.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keep 2 to 3 days max in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The batter can be prepared the day before and refrigerated. Baked muffins keep very well.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven 5-7 min at 150°C. Microwave 15-30 seconds at medium power. Air fryer 3-5 min at 140°C.

Variations

Replace the Nutella with peanut butter or another chocolate spread.
Add chopped walnuts or hazelnuts to the batter.
Use melted butter instead of the sunflower oil.

Mistakes to avoid

Overmixing the batter: the muffins turn out tough. Mix just until there are no more traces of flour.
Using bananas that aren't ripe enough: the muffins lack flavor and moisture. Choose very ripe ones.
Adding too much Nutella: it overflows. One teaspoon per muffin is enough.

Frequently asked questions

Which bananas should I choose for muffins?

Very ripe bananas, with brown-speckled skin. They are sweeter, more fragrant and mash easily with a fork into a smooth puree, which makes the muffins moister and tastier.

How do I keep the Nutella from sinking to the bottom?

First fill the liners halfway, place the Nutella in the center without touching the edges, then cover it with the rest of the batter up to the top. This way the melting center stays right in the middle.

How do I know when the muffins are done?

After 20 to 25 minutes at 180 °C, insert a toothpick into the crumb, off to the side of the Nutella center, which can dirty it. It should come out clean. Let cool a few minutes in the pan before removing.

Can I skip the chocolate chips?

Yes, the chips are an indulgent finishing touch, but the muffins are still good without them. You can replace them with chopped hazelnuts or a little coarse sugar sprinkled on top before baking.
