Here’s a fun (and sweet) Nutella recipe for you to enjoy! It’s always fun to make cupcakes, right?  These are a delightful mix of chocolate, Nutella and banana.  So good.

Chocolate Nutella Banana Cupcakes

Cupcake Ingredients –

1 ¾ C. flour

1 C. packed brown sugar

¼ C. cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

1 C. milk

1/3 C. vegetable oil

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 C. Nutella

2 bananas, mashed

Frosting Ingredients –

1 C. butter or margarine, softened

2 C. Nutella

4 C. powdered sugar

6 tbs. milk (you may need a little bit or more or a little bit less depending on how thick you like your frosting)

Directions –

#1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a 12ct. Muffin tin with cupcake liners (or use a non-stick spray).

#2. In a medium size bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and sale. Mix well and set aside.

#3. In a smaller bowl, combine the milk, egg, mashed bananas and vanilla – whisk well.

#4. Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix well. Slowly add in the Nutella.

#5. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check the muffins by sticking a toothpick into the center around 21 minutes. If it comes out ‘clean’ they are done. Let the muffins cool.

Frosting Directions –

Using a hand mixer beat 2 C. of powdered sugar, ½ of your butter/margarine and ½ of your milk and 2 C. of Nutella. Blend well and then slowly add the remaining sugar, milk and butter. Beat until smooth and creamy.

Once your cupcakes have cooled you can frost them.

**Makes approximately 12 cupcakes. 1 cupcake = 1 serving. Store in an airtight container up to 1 week.
