I am working on a new recipe. Feel free to help! I am combing a few ideas - banana bread and nutella cupcakes. I'll post a picture of mine as soon as I manage to find the camera cord the kids hid somewhere.
Self Frosting Banana and Nutella Muffins
Here is round one:
Preheat oven to 350.
Mix together:
1 1/2c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Mash together:
2-3 very ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
Cream together:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c sugar
Mix three components (mashed, mixed, and creamed) together. Batter will be really thick and you'll have to work it a bit to get it all mixed. Scoop into 12 lined and sprayed muffin tins.
Nutella topping:
scoop some nutella into a ziptop bag. Squish it around so it is soft and smooth. Snip the tip and squeeze out a squiggly or ring of nutella onto the top of the muffins. Swirl in.
Bake 23 minutes.
Current Status:
Now - in theory - I was supposed to be able to swirl the nutella in the top. I couldn't. The batter I made was too thick. However, I would make this change next time: Fill the muffin tins reserving about a tsp per muffin. Take the nutella and zap it a few seconds in the microwave to make it thinner. THEN squeeze the nutella on the muffins and spread the reserved banana batter on top of it. I think this will work better.
They tasted super yummy - even with the rather messy swirling attempt I made. The nutella that pokes out the top does look like frosting. Even the nutella under the surface ends up tasting like frosting.
UPDATE: I made the changes suggested above and got a much prettier muffin!
