These Banana Nutella Muffins are amazingly delicious and moist. Made in a healthyish way using whole wheat flour and organic coconut sugar, these Nutella swirled banana muffins are definitely going to be your new favorite muffins.
To the mashed bananas in a bowl, add melted butter, and mix it thoroughly. Add organic coconut sugar and mix again.
Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix once again.
Using a sieve, sift whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon, and add to the wet ingredients mixture. Using a spatula, fold gently till all ingredients form a homogeneous mixture (Do not over-mix at this stage).
Grease and dust the muffin pan. Preheat oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit (or 180 degree Celsius). Pour batter into greased (or lined) muffin cups.
Add half a tablespoon of Nutella over the muffin batter in each muffin cup. Then, use a toothpick to gently swirl Nutella over the batter.
Bake the muffins in preheated oven for 25 minutes or till done (when the inserted toothpick comes out clean).
The Banana Nutella Muffins are ready to be served warm, or these can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week!

Notes
Organic Coconut Sugar – If Coconut Sugar is not available, you can replace it with equal amount of Jaggery powder (unrefined cane sugar powder). These are the healthier sugar alternatives.
Do not over-mix the batter after adding dry ingredients.
Swirl Nutella gently over the muffin batter. Otherwise the swirls won't be seen after the muffins are baked.
