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.

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

Ingredients:

• 2 Green Peppers (cut in half and cored and seeded)
• 1/4 Onion
• About 8 Mushrooms Slice
• 4-8 Provolone Cheese Slices (the layer in the bottom of the pepper is optional- I usually leave it out to make it a little less fat and calories)
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1-1.5 lb (depending on how stuffed you want them) Thinly Sliced Skirt Steak
• 1 Tablespoon of Butter

Place clean peppers in a baking dish.  In a skillet melt butter add onion and cook until soft.  When onions are almost done add in the mushrooms.  Season with salt and pepper.  Meanwhile in a separate skillet cook meat thoroughly.  Season meat with salt and pepper.  You could also add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes if you would like to make it spicy.  

Preheat oven to 350.  Line each of the peppers with a slice of provolone, add a few onions and mushrooms then fill with meat.  Top with additional mushrooms and onions.  Top with another slice of provolone

 Bake 9-11 minutes. I served with Garlic Rosemary Potato Wedges (recipe coming soon).  Enjoy!
