nutella banana muffins

i had ripe bananas. i usually freeze them & save them for smoothies, but i felt like baking today, so i went & found this recipe on my {good food} pinterest board. although the stuff she used sounded amazing, i didn't have it, but it looked similar enough to nutella & {of course} I had it, so I went with it. i mean, really, could it be that bad? it's nutella after all :)

...ummm yeh. holy wow. good. really good. i love banana bread. i love nutella. they were good.

i just ate one. seriously yummy warm. i think the only thing i would possibly change is to add more nutella ;)

then, i did 5k on the treadmill so i can have another later! lol

Nutella Banana Muffins

1 1/2 cups whole wheat white flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 c egg substitute
3 Tablespoons Nutella

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

In a bowl mix together the sugar, butter, mashed bananas and egg on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
Slowly add in the sifted ingredients on low speed until just combined. Take a spatula and fold the ingredients together.

Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop the batter into each cupcake liner.
Then place three 1/4 teaspoons of Nutella on top of each muffin. Swirl it around with a knife. If the swirls aren’t perfect, don’t worry.

Bake the muffins at 375 degrees F for 18 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer the muffins to a cooling rack. {in my opinion, these are best eaten WARM!}

makes 12 muffins. {I calculated these on my WW Recipe builder & they came to 6 pts each}

there ya go! enjoy!
