Ingredients

Muffins

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 medium-sized bananas overripe
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 tsp Nutella

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp butter softened
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions

To make the muffins

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Set aside.

  2. Melt butter in a bowl. Whisk in sugar until butter has cooled down. Mash bananas into the butter and sugar mixture. You can keep the bananas chunky according to your preference. Whisk in the egg and vanilla.

  3. Sift flour, salt, and baking soda then gently fold into the mixture. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Using a scoop, divide the batter into 12, filling the liner 3/4 full.

  5. Top each one with Nutella and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it around the batter. You can opt to top the muffins with a slice of banana, too.

  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of the muffin comes out clean.

  7. Cool on a wire rack before frosting.

For the frosting

  1. Whip cream cheese and butter together until combined.

  2. Add confectioner's sugar gradually and whip until smooth. Add vanilla and mix.

  3. Top cooled muffins with frosting either with a piping bag or with an offset spatula.
