Today is World Nutella Day!
Now, some of these holidays are a little silly, I’m sure you’ll agree . . . but World Nutella Day is one we can get behind!
If you’re still on the fence, try these Nutella + Cocoa Breakfast muffins. We guarantee you’ll change your mind . . .
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg. C., 350 deg. F., Gas Mark 4, and line a 12-hole muffin tin with muffin papers.
- In a large bowl, beat the rapeseed oil, eggs and bananas together.
- Add the flours, oats, pecan nuts, baking powder and salt. Carefully fold all together, being careful not to over-mix and make the muffins tough.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cases, filling each to about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved oats and a sprinkle of soft brown sugar.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until risen, golden and a cocktail stick placed in the centre of the muffin comes out clean.
- Remove the muffins to a cooling rack to cool.
- Top muffins with a portion of Nutella + Cocoa. And extra fruit, if you like!
Nutella would also go wonderfully well with our Manon’s Chandeleur crêpes! Try them out here.
