Notes

Use the ripest banana you could ever find at home or in the market, this will give you more sweetness that will allow you to require less sugar.
The most crucial rule of baking muffins is to avoid over stirring the batter throughout the baking process. Instead, you want to simply moisten the ingredients and mix until just combined, which is what you should aim for.

Recipe Variations

If you want more chocolatey goodness, consider adding melted chocolate chips into the muffin mixture.
You may use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour, and you will get the exact same result; a tender batch of muffins.
For a more interesting and flavorful version of this recipe, you may consider adding melted white chocolate to your Nutella. Double the fun indeed when you top your muffins with Nutella that has melted white chocolate in it.
