Banana and Nutella are an awesome flavor combination in these Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting.  I should probably tell you how these banana cupcakes are perfectly moist with plenty of banana flavor and a not too dense texture. But Nutella Frosting is so good everything else pales in comparison!

I’m usually somewhat hesitant to make anything with Nutella because it tastes so insanely perfect right out of the jar.

Nutella Frosting

But if it is possible to improve upon perfection, Nutella Frosting does just that. Trust me, once you try the heavenly chocolate hazelnut spread in buttercream form, you won’t be able to resist licking the bowl clean.
There’s still plenty of that amazing Nutella flavor, it’s just transformed into a fluffier and creamier and even more awesome texture when made into a buttercream.

Nutella Frosting is deliciously addictive and the perfect compliment to a banana cupcake if you can refrain from eating it all straight from the bowl.

These Banana Cupcakes with Nutella Frosting are sure to become a family favorite!

Use Overripe Bananas

You want to use bananas that are really ripe for this recipe. They should have lots of black spots on them. Overripe bananas will give more moisture, flavor and sweetness to the cupcakes.
