Nutella has got to be one of my favorite things. I love baking with it so I thought I would give Nutella muffins a try! Since it's Christmas I decided to decorate them like little Christmas puddings. (My boyfriend doesn't like Christmas pudding/cake so he loved these!)
Ingredients
 |
| I forgot to put the Nutella in the photo... Oops! |
- Self raising flour - 1.5 cups
- Sugar - 0.5 cups
- Butter - 0.5 cups
- Nutella - 0.5 cups
- Milk - 1 cup
- 2 Medium Eggs
- Dark chocolate - 1 bar cut into little pieces (or you can buy chocolate chips!)
- Ready to roll icing
- Gel food colours (they need to be gel food colours as they will not affect the icing consistency)
- Muffin Tins
- Cake/muffin cases (I found this mixture made around 20 cupcake size muffins, I cooked them in 2 batches but if you use muffin cases you should get 12 from this mixture.
Method
- Preheat oven to Gas Mark 6
- Line muffin tins with cake cases
- Mix together butter and sugar
- Stir in Eggs one at a time
- Stir in milk and nutella
- Mix until smooth
- Mix in flour little by little
- Stir in chocolate chunks
 |
Mixture should look a little like this
- Put mixture into cake cases.
- Bake for around 15 min
- Leave to cool on wire rack
- Once cool roll out icing thinly and cut 'drippy icing' shapes (see picture)

- Use a dot of nutella to stick the shapes to each cake
- Split some left over icing into two balls
- Use the gel food coloring to make one ball green and one ball red. (this might get a bit messy so use some icing sugar to stop your hands getting to sticky)
- shape the green ball in to holly leaf shapes
- Stick two leaves to each cake with a dot of nutella
- Roll red icing into small balls
- Stick two or 3 to each cake as the holly berries
- Enjoy your Christmas pudding nutella muffins!
