Muffin Base
  • 2-3 pieces Ripe Bananas The sweeter and more overripe, the better for maximum flavor.

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt A tiny pinch amplifies the sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar Brown sugar enhances depth and warmth.
  • 1 piece Large Egg Using a flax egg makes for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Pure vanilla gives a delightful aromatic kick.
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour is a suitable substitute.
Swirl
  • 1 tablespoon Nutella Warm slightly if it’s too firm for easy spreading.
