Cook's Hideout: Banana Nutella Swirl Muffins (Eggless recipe)

Banana Nutella Swirl Muffins (Eggless recipe)

Blogging Marathon# 55: Week 2/ Day 1
Theme: Nutella Galore
Dish: Banana Nutella Muffin
We are starting a brand new week of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is 'Recipes made with Nutella or Chocolate Hazelnut spread'. I knew right away that my kids would love whatever I make for this week since they absolutely LOVE Nutella.
Eggless Banana Nutella Muffins
For the first day, I made a moist & delicious banana muffins with nutella swirls. I can't stop myself from bananas even though I know very well that by day 4, they will start to smell very 'banana-ey' and no body in the house would really want to eat them. I try and find some interesting ways to use the overripe bananas and these muffins with Nutella swirls sounded just perfect.

Eggless Banana Nutella Muffins
I replaced the all purpose flour in the original recipe with wholewheat pastry flour and used egg replacer powder instead of the egg. I reduced the sugar quantity in the recipe and found the muffins just right for my taste. If you want sweeter muffins increase the total sugar to 1 cup.

Muffins turned out moist & delicious. Not just my kids, even my mom said she liked these muffins. The Nutella swirls on the top bake into a beautiful pattern and tastes delicious too.

Recipe adapted from here:
Ingredients:
Wholewheat Pastry Flour - 2cups (or substitute with all purpose flour)
Baking Soda - 1tsp
Baking Powder - 1tsp
Salt - ½tsp
Over ripe Bananas - 3~4 medium, mashed
Sugar - ½cup
Light brown Sugar- 2tbsp (optional)
Egg Replacer powder- 1tbsp whisked in 3tbsp water (or use 1 large egg)
Oil - ¼cup
Vanilla extract - 2tsp
Pecans or Walnuts - ½cup
Nutella - ½cup

Method:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease them.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed banana, sugar and brown sugar. Beat in the egg mixture (or egg), oil and vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the nuts.
  • Fill the muffin tins ¾ full. Top each muffin with 1~2tsp Nutella and use a toothpick to swirl it into the batter.
  • Bake muffins for 15~17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
