Nutella Banana Bread Muffins (recipe from Butter Be Ready: https://www.butterbeready.com/nutella-banana-bread-muffins/)

1 2/3 c. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 c. granulated sugar

2 eggs

1/2 c. canola oil

3-4 very ripe bananas, mashed

2 tbsp. sour cream

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 c. chopped walnuts (*I substituted hazelnuts - feel free to toast them if you like!)

Nutella (1/4 c. total)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

In a separate bowl, beat sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add in oil, bananas, sour cream, and vanilla. Then, gently fold in the flour mixture and nuts.

Scoop batter into prepared liners. Add 1 tsp. of Nutella directly on top of each muffin and swirl using a toothpick.

Bake until a toothpick comes out clean (a little Nutella is okay), about 30 minutes.
