Nutella filled Banana Muffins



Muffins are a treat to bake and savor. They are the best way to kick-start a day!! I love to have them for breakfast with a cup of coffee. But I’m also happy grabbing one of these cuties on my way out the door and devour it in the car. There's another huge benefit to these muffins: Nutella. I'm addicted to Nutella, it brings back so many childhood memories. I always have a jar of Nutella in my pantry. This time, I had some speckled bananas sitting on my counter, so I said rather than making a banana cake like always, I will try some banana muffins filled with Nutella. Warm from the oven, they're a totally decadent way to greet the day.


Ingredients (makes 18 muffins):
4 very ripe canary bananas (to yield about 2 cups of mashed bananas)
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
Nutella

Preheat oven to 375ºF (175ºC). Grease a muffin tins with vegetable oil.

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Pour in mashed bananas, milk and vanilla and blend well.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.

Stir flour mixture into banana mixture by hand-only until dry ingredients are just mixed in.

Using a tablespoon, drop enough batter in to the muffin tins. Next drop in a blob of nutella with a spoon. Next pour enough batter over the blob so that the liners are just about full. Bake for about 25 minutes.


Muffins à la banane et au cœur de Nutella

Ingrédients (18 muffins):
4 bananes bien mûres (environ 2 tasses de bananes écrasées)
110 g beurre, mou
2 œufs
75 ml de lait
1 càc d'extrait de vanille
220 g de farine
1 sachet de levure chimique
une pincée de sel
Nutella




Préchauffez votre four à 175ºC. Graissez un moule à muffins.

Dans un saladier, battez le beurre et le sucre en crème. Ajoutez les oeufs, un à un, en battant après chaque ajoût. 

Ajoutez les bananes écrasées, le lait et l'extrait de vanille. Mélangez.
Dans un autre bol, tamisez la farine, la levure et le sel. Ajoutez-les au mélange banane. Mélangez.

Remplissez les moules à moitié de pâte puis ajoutez une cuillère de Nutella et recouvrez de pâte. Enfournez pendant 25 minutes environ.
