Nutella Banana Bread Swirl Muffins

Yes you did read that correctly... this is a recipe for Nutella Banana Swirl Muffins...

Also known as Heaven in a Muffin Cup.

The other day was Felix's birthday, so I asked him what I could make him to celebrate. I was already planning on making banana bread for a team potluck the next day, so I asked if he wanted banana bread muffins.  He got really excited and started talking about how I should put Nutella in them.....

Now, I have a secret banana bread recipe that is amazing and I have thought about posting every time I make it, but I haven't been able to get myself to do it.  This particular recipe does not say anything about Nutella additions, so I hit the Pinterest boards.

I found this incredible, amazing, mouth-watering recipe.  Felix couldn't find the words to describe how much he like them (he also thought he could get them to last for two weeks despite the fact that he was eating like 5 at a time).  I also learned I could probably just try adding Nutella swirls to my banana bread recipe..... Next time. :)


Nutella Banana Bread Swirl Muffins
Recipe from The Novice Chef

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 medium over-ripe bananas, mashed (I only had 3 large ones left after making banana bread, but they still turned out pretty delicious)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (I used olive oil... technically it is a vegetable?)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Nutella
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Prepare muffin pan with liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together bananas, sugar, and brown sugar.  Beat in the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.  Slowly whisk in the dry ingredients until their are no lumps (mixture will be thick, be sure not to over mix). 

Fill muffin tins 3/4 full.  Top each muffin with about 1 tsp Nutella and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.

Bake muffins 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.


The original recipe said this yields 18 muffins, I stretched it to two dozen because I was worried I was filling more than 3/4 full and they were going to overflow (and also, it made them last longer... yumm)

CHOCOLATE MARBLE QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Image
Serve this fresh homemade Chocolate Marble Quick Bread that was a breeze to make using a whisk. Quick bread eliminates multiple steps, kneading and waiting for dough to rise. With minimal efforts, we are rewarded with a gorgeous loaf/ Have reduced the sugar a bit since I intend to ice the cake later. Am so glad that this Chocolate Marble Quick Bread turned out just right, the way I want it. You can sub yogurt with sour cream if you have but this MUNDELLA Premium Natural Yogurt I used did a great job. It is a perfect tea companion and swirls of vanilla and chocolate batter produce impressively beautiful treat. Over the years, I have shared some quick bread recipes, here are a few that you might be interested: Vegan Homemade Doughnuts Irish Barmbrack Fantastic Apricot Bread

CLASSIC BREAD PUDDING

Image
This Classic Bread Pudding is an easy dessert using a stale bread soaked in a milky egg mixture. I used to make it using my white sandwich bread, crust removed then cubed, but today I made this Classic Bread Pudding with multi grain bread, cut the slice into half length wise. Also baked this pudding in my 9 x 11 in baking pan instead of the heavy glass dish. It does not matter what utensil you choose, it still turns out great. The advantage of using a glass dish is that it can go from oven straight to dining table. It can be customize to your liking by adding cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon zest. If you are a chocolate lover, add a cup of chopped bittersweet chocolate or add in fruits like banana (2), blueberry, strawberry, raspberry (2 cup) or dried fruit (1 cup) just before baking. This simple Classic Bread Pudding came out beautiful and and taste exactly the same I enjoyed as a child.
