Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Beat in the room temperature eggs, then stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar until no lumps are present.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Melt Nutella briefly in the microwave.
  7. Drizzle melted Nutella on top of each muffin and swirl gently with a knife.
