Gluten Free Nutella Muffins

I have a confession to make: I love Nutella. I can eat it in every way imaginable - on toast, with a banana, on top of ice cream, or just by itself on a spoon. 

 

So my boyfriend bought me a 5kg tub of Nutella for my birthday! And although I love Nutella, 5kg is a lot to get through (and moderation and healthy eating is important!) I decided that it would have to be used in other ways, so I came up with this simple recipe - and trust me, these muffins are divine! 

Nutella Muffins

Ingredients: 

2 cups gluten-free self raising flour (I use the one by Aldi) 

1 cup Nutella

1 cup lactose-free milk

1/2 cup lactose-free butter, melted (I used nuttelex)

2 tsp cocoa powder

1/2 cup raw sugar

A pinch of salt 

Steps: 

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin and set aside. 

2. In a large bowl, sift through flour, cocoa powder and salt. 

3. In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugar until combined. Stir in the eggs one at a time. Add in the milk, followed by the Nutella and continue to mix until mixture is smooth. 

4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture until completely combined. 

5. Pour batter into the muffin tins. Bake for 20-25 min or until cake tester comes out clean. 

6. Cool in pan for about 5 minutes. Serve warm or transfer to wire rack to cool.
