Banana Muffins with Nutella Swirl – soft and fluffy banana muffins with a nutella swirl on top!
Today we’re going to talk about things I love about Texas.
Mostly because the post I just wrote about how Game of Thrones is so boring this season that I have to listen to recap podcasts because I can’t pay attention and how much I love Real Housewives of NY now that Bethenny is back was deleted when I had to restart my computer.
(Yes, that was one sentence. Sorry.)
I love Texas. Which I honestly didn’t expect to say because the forever long drive through Texas from New Mexico to Louisiana made me want to punch myself in the face repeatedly on our epic roadtrips last year.
But I love it.
Guys, I have a Whataburger right up the road. I could walk there. I haven’t lived near a Whataburger in years!
Also, In-n-Out.
The cacti have flowers.
My phone is filled with photos of dogs and cactus flowers.
The weather. It’s so warm. We’ve had the top off the Jeep pretty much every day since we got here! Plus! Flipflops all day, everyday.
And it rains! Like for real rain!
H-E-B.
Omgggg, you guys told me I was going to love H-E-B and I doubted you. I thought nothing could be better than Trader Joe’s.
I was wrong.
We’ll definitely be heading back to Colorado one day but for now, we’re really enjoying it here.
Banana Muffins with Nutella Swirl!
And completely unrelated, I made Banana Muffins with Nutella Swirl!
Funnily enough, I’ve been craving Nutella ever since my husband posted an annoying article about how Nutella is poisoning people (with sugar and milk) on my Facebook profile last week.
These turned out so delicious. You’ve got your standard banana muffin on the bottom and then the Nutella swirl on top that sinks in in some places and stays gooey and Nutella-like in others. So good.

Amy @Very Culinary says
Remember Once Upon a Time, and how awesome it was the first season. And then the second season was tragically disappointing. And then the 3rd season…Oh wait, I don’ think we even made it through the 3rd season because it got so stupid. Sigh. Why can’t TV shows be great forever. We just got into DareDevil – check that one out! In other news, Nutella is poisoning people? Hm. Well, I guess we all have to die from something.
Kathy says
Why is the Nutella listed twice in the ingredients but only used to swirl on the top of the muffins. Are you to add the other Nutella in the muffin mix. The recipe does not say that.
amanda says
Ohhh sorry, it should just be listed once – I tried just using 2 tablespoons to swirl and ended up using 1/3 cup! It’s fixed now.
Deanna McK says
I am soooo making these as soon as my bananas ripen! I love Nutella and it will be awesome in those muffins. What a great picture … making me drool. :)
Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction says
I love putting nutella on my bananas! These muffins wouldn’t last long at my house!

I so need to make these this weekend.
True story. I get bananas every time i go to the grocery store. Just last week we had 18 bananas at home. I have some baking to do now
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
I’m so happy you are liking your new home! I wonder how you’ll like the “warm” weather in a couple months. We just found out we’re going to Texas for a weekend next month! I’m excited but worried about the heat.
Love these muffins! xo
Kelley says
I laugh. I laugh because I love all those things about Texas too. I can throw a rock and hit a whataburger AND HEB from my house. It’s heaven. The only thing I don’t like is the weather.. it’s nice now, but it will heat up fast. And ugh.. no fun. Other then that – love Texas! Welcome! Enjoy our pile-o-cactii!
