Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth, even-textured batter. This helps give airier, fluffier muffins.
- Warm the Nutella slightly if it’s too thick. This makes it easier to swirl.
- Don’t over-whisk the Nutella swirl banana muffins batter. Mix just enough so all the dry ingredients are moist.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a few minutes initially. This creates air bubbles that expand the batter to help get tall muffins!
- If you don't want to bake at different temperatures, just bake at 180 C/ 350 F for 18-20 minutes.
