what's y'all's favourite kinda nutty butter? around here it is nutella. i haven't had a kid come over who doesn't like it. well there was this one.... but that was because he wouldn't try it. eventually he did and now it is his favourite.
this week's challenge is a little nutty... make cupcakes with your favourite nutty butter.
nutella cupcakes
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
1 cup nutella + a little more to frost if y'all want
1/4 cup milk
preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 350*F
place paper liners in the muffin tins. this makes up 18 to 24 depending on how full y'all fill the liners. i filled them 2/3 full and got 18. i should have filled them a little less than 2/3 full, they kinda overflowed a bit.
mix flour, wheat germ, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy and add eggs on at a time mixing well after each egg. mix in the nutella. then alternately mix in the flour mixture and milk.
bake for 22 - 25 minutes. cool before frosting.
the first pan i baked came out a little dark around the edges so i turned the toaster oven down to 325*F for the next 2 and they came out perfect.
these cupcakes bake up flat.
now if any of y'all aren't a little nutty and are just a plain nut go ahead and make cupcakes with nuts.
my brother jcub told me the other day he just didn't want to turn the oven on to bake cupcakes because of the crazy heat. i told him i understand and haven't used my oven to bake cupcakes since march. my little secret.... i'm using my toaster oven. using the toaster oven takes a little longer to get the job done seeing as i can only bake 6 cupcakes at a time. but it keeps some of the heat out of the kitchen.
