Banana Nutella Muffins

My kids come home from school EXTREMELY hungry, so I try to have a snack ready for them when they get home.  These muffins (or cupcakes as my youngest likes to call them) are perfect sweet treat for them

Ingredients:

• 2 Large Bananas- Mashed
• 1 1/2 Cups Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 Cup Applesauce
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 1/2 teapoon Cinnamon
• About 1/2 Cup Nutella
• 2 Eggs

I made 12 Regular Muffins and 10 Mini Muffins

Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.  In a separate bowl cream together mashed bananas, applesauce, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs.  Add that to the flour mixture and beat until just combined.  Scoop batter into full size muffin tins until about 1/2 full.

  Then place a SMALL dollop of Nutella on top.  Place another scoop of muffin batter on top of Nutella.

 Bake for 11-12 minutes.

**for mini muffins I just filled them about 2/3 of the way full and placed a small dollop of Nutella on top of batter.  I baked them for 8 minutes.

Nutella Banana Fudgesicles

One of my favorite treats at Disney World is a frozen banana.  I am not sure if that is because it tastes so good or if it is because it is always so hot!  Either way I love them!  This banana fudgesicle satisfies my chocolate fix without too much fat, calories, or crazy ingredients.  Oh and the kids LOVE them too!  We have been trying a new popsicle varieties this summer... I am not sure who is enjoying it more-the kids...or me?!?  One of my favorites is the Strawberry Banana Creamsicle

Ingredients:

• 2 Tablespoons Nutella
• 3 Medium Bananas

Put ingredients in food processor and blend on until smooth.  Pour mixture into popsicle molds.  Place in freezer.  

Freeze for about 8 hours and enjoy!

Tracy's Version of the 2-Ingredient Cookie

Strawberry Nutella Bruschetta

My youngest son, Nathan, is obsessed with what he calls "chocolate bread sandwiches."  It's really just Nutella on whole wheat bread.  If I would let him, he would probably eat it for lunch everyday!  I don't want to eat the same thing every day so I thought he would appreciate a little change  This is what I came up with.  It is a perfect after school snack or a new lunch time favorite!

Ingredients:

• Whole Wheat Bread Slices
• Strawberries
• Kiwi
• Nutella

You can make as many or as few as you would like just adjust the amount of ingredients used accordingly.  

 Preheat oven to 375.  Cut bread into desired shape.  I use a couple different sized shot glasses to get my desired small round shapes.

Place bread on baking sheet and put in oven for about 2 minutes or until lightly toasted

Dice fruit.  Spread Nutella onto toasted bread and sprinkle with fruit pieces.
