One year ago today I wrote my 1st post for this blog. AFTER I started I must say i never thought anyone would read it. For a couple of months I had been writing simply for myself and the two other people I put told about the blog. Then I uncovered Foodbuzz, and was introduced to a wide world of food bloggers. These were kind and supportive, and I love to think that one particular I’ve met” through Foodbuzz are my friends.
AFTER I started writing the blog, I had trouble coming up with what to say. What is it people want to learn? Then I found this quotation:
Better to write on your own and have no public, than to create for the public and have zero personal. ~Cyril Connolly
It helped me recognize that writing for some imaginary potential viewers won’t work. This blog is a place for me to share my encounters with food, quality recipes I enjoy, and the occasional anecdote about my time. It’s an escape from your day to day more than anything else (sometimes I even create my articles while at the job when I have to clear my mind; sshh, don’t tell anyone!)
My original plan was to remake the Amaretto Cheese Tart I wrote about in my first post. An urgent condo visit on Sunday transformed my plans. Instead I’m sharing these Banana Nutella Muffins together with you. They appear fitted since muffins are most likely the baked great I maximize.
I was hoping for more of a Nutella swirl look to them, cauliflower quinoa risotto but We over-mixed the batter and lost the swirl. It’s ok, they still taste great, as well as the Nutella drizzle on top completely accocunts for for the lack of swirl inside.
Don’t be concerned, I’ll produce the tart soon!
Banana Nutella Muffins
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp cooking powder
1 ripe but solid banana for garnish (optional)
Preheat the oven to 375. Range a 12 cup muffin tin.
In a big bowl, blend the flours, baking powder and salt collectively.
In a separate bowl, blend the mashed banana, butter and egg together. Stir within the yogurt and vanilla.
Blend the wet in to the dry until just combined. Stir within the Nutella.
Pour batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Best each muffin with slim pieces of banana.
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Once done, great on a cable rack. Drizzle with Nutella.
These muffins appear so good! I love nutella. Thanks a lot for sharing!
