[Final] Revised Recipe for Nutella Muffins using HappyCall Pan

This is a continuation of this post "Nutella Cupcakes with HappyCall Pan", so if you had yet to read that, you will NOT understand why I had changed from a 3-ingredients Nutella Muffins to the current 7-ingredients Nutella Muffins.

Thus, I strongly suggest that you hop over there first before you continue here.....

Though the previous post seemed to be a nice ending, I made a number of mistakes after that.
Firstly, I misunderstood the difference between muffins and cupcakes and I was corrected by my friend sternly after she read my post. Thus, it was a wrong title for the previous post.

Next, I had NO idea of how to pack them for people who are not staying with me. I did not cool them enough and put them inside an air-tight canister! *faint* The end result was horrible! The muffins became soggy and stuck to their teeth which was TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE of what my family tasted when we were at home. *slap forehead*

Lastly, I mentioned in my previous post that overnight muffins did not taste as nice, its not true!!!
  All because of the way I stored them.
Now that I know the reason, my Nutella muffins still taste nice even leaving them overnight.
Therefore, I can do night baking now and spend my day time with my family, instead of cooping in the kitchen.

Anyhow, I was taken aback by how much my hubby and my 2 boys loved my Nutella Muffins. They get gobbled up so fast and my boys, especially my elder one will say: "Mummy, can you bake Nutella Muffins again? No more already." *faint*

I had been baking like almost every alternate day with 2 bakes a day! The frequency of my bakes had become so often until hubby thinks I should go get another HappyCall Pan to meet the 'big demand'! *laugh*

I am so glad that out of 18 rounds of baking, from earlier part of August till this day, ALL 18 bakes were deeply loved by my family. Each bake produces 12 mini-muffins, so I had baked an equivalent of 216 mini-muffins to date!!!!! *faint*

Why I used 'equivalent' is because now I have 3 different muffins-holders :
Normal-size, 
Mini-Size 
and 
Super-Mini-Size.





Just in case you think that I had been counting, I didn't!
With the grams stated clearly on the Nutella containers, it is not difficult to keep track!
Just count the number of containers used! *laugh*
That is how happy I am!
The one and only thing I baked that was successful from the starting point.


In the previous post, I stopped at 6-ingredients and was truly happy with it, but still, not completely statisfied. I wanted more Chocolatey taste.
You know, the bitter-sweet Chocolatey taste?
Then my friend suggested that I should try Cocoa Powder.

Oh my!!!
It gave me the taste I wanted!
Yeah!
*clap clap clap*

After the difference cocoa powder made to my Nutella muffins. I played with the ingredients a few more times.

  • Put in Cocoa Powder, but took Cinnamon Powder.
then another time....
  • Reduced the amount of Nutella with Cocoa Powder alone.
then another round....
  • Reduced the amount of Nutella with Cocoa Powder and Cinnamon Powder.

Yes, I played with the ingredients for another 3 rounds before I finally decided to stick to this:

  • 100g of Nutella
  • 2.5 tablespoon of Self-Raising Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon of Salted Butter
  • 2 pinch-es of Cinnamon Powder
  • Half teaspoon of Light Sour Cream
  • Half teaspoon of Cocoa Powder

  •  I mixed the Self-Raising Flour, Cinnamon Powder and Cocoa Powder in one bowl
  • And mixed the rest in another bowl
  • Before I combine them together
 
  •  Bakes for 20 mins for mini-size Nutella Muffins
  • Bakes for 22mins for normal size Nutella Muffins
  • Bakes for 16mins for super-mini-size Nutella Muffins
  • All using HappyCall Double Pan on gas stove
  • Fire between small and medium
***The amount of time may vary for you, just remember to use the toothpick to test.
Poke in the middle of the muffins, if the toothpick comes out clean, its ready.



And this 7-ingredient recipe for my Nutella muffins had stayed the same for the last 11 bakes and gave consistent results throughout.

So no more changing!
This 7-ingredients Nutella Muffin recipe is here to stay.

Yup!
That's it!
Another post of mine that made me smile........
