Nutella Cupcakes

work'n from home today because tofu got neuter'd yesterday & i wanna watch after him. i'm a lil stress'd & super annoy'd @ the moment cos i've been work'n since 6:15am, with over 20 different people email'n & msg'n me all day with questions that i consider to be commonsense...sigh...the 2hr+ phone calls will come as soon as my boss is done with all his other conference calls...i'm sure! why today?! :(

anyways, to de-stress, i bake! i baked! :)

last night, i was craving chocolate chip muffins, then i decided to go with a nutella recipe since my container of nutella has been sit'n in the shelf for months, unopen'd.

found a recipe that i couldn't resist from Torview since it only requires 4 ingredients & 10 minutes from batter to tummy. there were 100 comments for this post, but no one really said "i baked them & they're awesome!" so i was a tad bit skeptical to try. but i try'd & now i can say "i baked them & they're awesome!" :P

Nutella Cupcakes
recipe from Torview, makes 5 cupcakes

1/2 C nutella
1 egg
5 T flour
1/4 t baking soda

preheat oven to 350F. mix everything together. bake 18-20 minutes (original recipe said 9-10, but the cuppies were still wet & sunken then. maybe it's my oven, or maybe it's cos i kept open'n it to check HAHA). enjoy!

i'll definitely make this recipe again, but with less nutella (on the sweet side) & think'n to add some almond flour to it next time -MMMMM almond & hazelnut together! perfect match!

pair'd my nutella cupcakes with fresh-brew'd Starbucks Blonde Roast. i like my coffee French-press'd, black & consumed within minutes while it's nice & hot, just like a true (ex-)barista :)
