Ingredients

4 super ripe bananas

¾ cup of coconut oil

1 ¼ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups flour

½ cup buttermilk

¾ cup Nutella

For the streusel

½ stick cold butter

½ cup flour

¼ cup brown sugar

1 cup Salted Pistachios

Greedy Tips:

    • Make sure to fill the cupcakes almost to the top before adding the Nutella. I added mine at the halfway point and you can see they sunk a bit.
    • I recommend having one muffin with no Nutella in the center to be used as a tester. So you can check for doneness on that muffin.

Instructions

    • In a food processor combine the flour, butter, brown sugar and pistachios
    • Blend until it resembles breadcrumbs

    • In another bowl combine all the dry ingredients, flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon
    • In a mixer cream together the sugar coconut oil and salt
    • After 5 minutes add the eggs and vanilla
    • Once the egg is incorporated add the bananas
    • Add half the flour mixture and half the milk and mix until it comes together then add the remaining milk and flour and continue to mix until everything is combined and there are no flour streaks
    • Place muffin batter in lined muffin tins about 3/4 of the way up, add a spoon of Nutella then cover with more batter
    • Repeat for all muffins except one, Fill one muffin with the only batter no Nutella this will be the tester muffin.
