Nutella Swirled Banana Muffins

These are amazing, and extremely easy to make!

1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
(I made my own by adding 2 TBS baking powder and 3/4 tsp salt to the flour)
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 Tbs Nutella, at room temp (I used more than that!)

Pre-heat oven to 350F. Line your muffin tins with paper liners, or use silicone trays.

In one bowl combine flour, sugar & salt. In another combine eggs, butter, mashed bananas & vanilla. Tip one into the other and gently fold together. You want your batter to be thoroughly mixed, but still lumpy.

Divide your mixture between muffin cups, each one should be just about half full. Take a teaspoon of Nutella and pop a blob (technical term) onto the center of each muffin. Use a toothpick to swirl the Nutella into the muffin without turning the whole thing chocolatey.

Repeat with each muffin and then pop them all onto the middle shelf of your oven. Bake for 20 mins, when they're done you should be able to stick a toothpick into the center and have it come out clean.

Leave to cool by the window and enjoy when still warm.
