Nutella Marbled Banana Muffins

It is 7 am, and I am barely awake, but I trudge out of my cold bedroom following the warmth of my kitchen to grab something to eat. During these occasions, I find myself thanking past Kylie for thinking ahead and baking goods that need no additional preparation and reheating required. It began with the brioche loaf, then the scones, and now muffins. So, if the next sweet recipe still concerns my breakfast, I am sorry. I just cannot help loving this meal first of all because I immediately look forward to it the minute my wake-up alarm vibrates. Second, it is the only meal I can eat something sweet at and not feel like breaking any unspoken etiquette about the appropriateness of my choice of food for the time of day.

I am nearly 99% certain that anyone would love it if you made these for them. The classic flavor combination performs a beautiful duet on your tongue with every single bite. Even the pickiest of picky eaters will appreciate moist and fluffy muffins to start their day off with. Trust me because my brother is the perfect case in point. Sometimes, I even dream of these muffins at night knowing that when I awake, they will be patiently sitting in my pantry waiting for me. With this, I would like to invite you to gather all these basic ingredients and whip this up as your soon-to-be beloved breakfast choice.
