I found this recipe the other day while searching for things to make with the bananas hiding in my freezer. Of course it didn’t take long to find an excuse to try it.

Nutella Banana Muffins

Ingredients

2 eggs
125g soft butter
100g sugar
2 large ripe bananas
100g Nutella
100ml milk
1 tsp baking soda
250g flour
2 tsp baking powder
150g (milk) chocolate (topping)

How to

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs.
Fold in mashed banana and the nutella until mixed through. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and baking soda. In another bowl combine flour and baking powder.

Alternately blend in part of the milk mixture, then part of the flour mixture, then part of the milk mixture… until everything is combined. (This way provides better control over the consistency of the batter).

Pour batter into greased or paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 180°C in the preheated oven: 20-25 minutes for normal sized muffins, and 10 minutes for mini muffins. Check if the muffins are done by poking in a wooden skewer – it should come out quite dry and almost clean. Remove from the oven and let cool.

If you like, add a thick layer of milk chocolate to top, or spread with Nutella when eating. These are beautiful eaten straight from the oven.

And here’s some photos from the making of… click for bigger.

In case you’re wondering, Jarod mounted his Nikon with fisheye lens onto on of our cupboard doors, and pointed it downwards. He had a remote control and he took photos at random intervals. Most of the time I didn’t know when he was going to take them. The exception being the few in which I’m smiling.
