Nutella Chocolate Chip Banana Pecan Muffins

Heat oven to 375F. In a large bowl, beat sugar and softened butter with a spoon until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and 2 tablespoons of Nutella. Stir in mashed bananas, chocolate chips, milk, and vanilla until well blended. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, crushed pecans, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the banana mixture all at once; stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Pour the batter into muffin pan cups (paper baking cups are recommended). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 45 minutes; remove from the pan and spoon on some additional Nutella topping (optional).
