Banana and Nutella Muffins

Yes, another batch of muffins. In conjunction with Muffinsdagen (Muffin Day) in Sweden, I set off to make some baked goodies with ripe bananas and nutella while my boyfriend is (still) snoring away. 
Yup, we have 'food-celebrated' days over here. We have 'Waffle Day', 'Cinnamon Bun Day' and etc. All of us love to eat! :D :D

A dollop in the center 

Swirl around with a skewer 

Not very nice-looking but acceptable?

Are you tempted?

Ingredients

3 ripe bananas - mashed

113g of butter -melted and cooled for about 10 mins

230g of flour

80g of sugar

2 large eggs - lightly beaten

1 tsp of baking powder

1 tsp of baking soda

1/4 tsp of salt

1 tsp of vanilla extract

4 tbsps of nutella (melted)

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees.
2. Line your muffin tray with muffin liners or cupcake liners.
3. Use a large bowl and whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4. Use another large bowl and whisk eggs, bananas, vanilla extract together.
5. Lightly fold the WET ingredients and butter into the DRY ingredients until they are combined and chunky in texture.
6. Do not over mix the batter as it will yield a tough and 'rubbery' texture.
7. Scoop the batter into the prepared tray. 3/4 full is good enough.
8. 'Drop' a dollop of nutella into each muffin and swirl briefly with a skewer.
9. Bake for 18-20 mins or till golden brown, or till a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of the muffins.
10. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
11. Indulge! 

Chocolate Chip Muffins

Muffins are very easy to make and my munchkins love them. But only with some chocolate ingredients in them. >_< I bake these whenever I need a quick fix for tea time. You don't need much, really. Have a go and you'll be happy with what you get. Mix and match of ingredients would be a good experiment to try out different flavours and fillings.

Some of them are sprinkled with cinnamon 

Yummy!

Ingredients
2 large eggs
113g of butter
160ml of milk
260g of flour
80g of sugar
1 1/2 tsps of vanilla extract
2 1/2 tbsps of baking powder
50g of chocolate chips
1/4 tsp of salt (optional)

Topping
1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of sugar - mix well

Method

1. Preheat your oven at 180 degrees. 
2. Melt butter in a saucepan and leave to cool for about 15 minutes.
3. Line your muffin tray with muffin liners or cupcake liners.
4. Use a large bowl and whisk eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
5. Use another large bowl and whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
6. Stir in chocolate chips into the dry ingredients.
7. Use a spatula, fold in WET ingredients and butter into the DRY ingredients.
8. Do not fold till smooth but till everything is mixed. You don't want a smooth batter as that will make the muffins feels 'rubbery'.
9. Scoop into prepared muffins tins.
10. Sprinkle some cinnamon topping if you fancy.
11. Bake at 18-20 minutes, golden brown or till a skewer that is inserted, comes out clean.
12. Enjoy!
