Nutella Muffins

This recipe is really simple using Nutella for the cake as well as toppings. I have never thought of using Nutella as topping before as I felt it will not be able to spread well but surprisingly, it works so perfect like ganache & melting chocolate. You don't even have to melt or mix with other ingredients at all, its so spreadable straight from the bottle. These muffins were soft, light and not too sweet, great for a quick bake.

Ingredients

100g unsalted butter (melted)
1 large eggs
2 heaping tbsp Nutella
100ml milk
180g plain flour/self-raising flour
60g sugar
1.5tsp baking powder(omit if use self raising flour)
pinch of salt
Nutella

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180 deg C.
2. Combine the melted butter, egg and nutella, mix until light and creamy.
3. Add milk and mix.
4. Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined (do not over mix).
5. Scoop batter into muffin fillers and bake for 20-25 mins.
6. Let the muffins cool completely and spread top with Nutella. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or decorative toppings of your choice.
