Who needs a different variety of muffin? I do! I do!
How about a breakfast you can eat in bed, or on the go!
MGG and I snuck away for a long weekend not long ago and stayed at a wonderful little boutique hotel in Santa Barbara. We just love this town and I have to tell you what impressed me quite a bit was the welcome basket full of baked goodies. There were fresh chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies (who can resist that!) that were scrumptious. They also gave us a few croissants, and some banana chocolate swirled muffins.
Those muffins were so moist and delicious they are definitely the inspiration for today's recipe.
So over the weekend I tried my hand at a combination of banana and chocolate using my basic muffin recipe. Bananas always add great flavor and moistness to muffins and then adding Nutella as a swirl into the muffins just seemed necessary. Let me tell you...they were easy and tasty! Hot from the oven these mouthwatering, fluffy, and seductive (yes, I said seductive...) muffins should probably be hidden if you want to save some for yourself, because they will be gone once your family smells them! After one bite, it's all over!
Can't wait to go back to Santa Barbara and get some more inspiration.
Enjoy!
