nutella banana muffins
Recipe source: delicious days
Required time: preparation 15 min., baking time 25-30 min.

Ingredients (yield: ~12 muffins):
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 coating
for decoration: nuts, sugar pearls, ...

Cream together in a large bowl the eggs, butter and sugar, then fold in squashed banana and the Nutella. Whisk.

In a separate bowl, combine milk and baking soda and blend well. Also separately, mix the flour with the baking powder.

Now alternately blend in a part of the milk mixture, then a part of the flour mix, part of the milk, … until everything is combined. Hereby you have better control over how the consistency of the dough develops.

Now pour batter into greased or paper-lined muffin tins and bake at 180° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit) in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check if the muffins are done by poking in a wooden skewer - it should come out quite dry and almost clean. Put them out of the oven and let them cool down completely.

Add a thick layer of (milk) chocolate coating and optionally some decoration (nuts, sugar pearls, …).
