Banana Nutella Cups

January 17, 2013 By Betsy Cohen

Fulfilling Your Daily Intake of Happiness

Banana Nutella CupsI had been watching three bananas get browner and browner on my counter, until they reached the point of having to be baked or dumped. The latter was not an option.

My problem was that I could not figure out what I wanted to do with them. I was discussing my dilemma with my cousin, Jackie. She suggested Banana Peanut Butter Cups, which I thought was brilliant.

I dived right in, deciding to bake them in a cupcake pan. I posted a request for tasters on Facebook and also took a Cup with me when I went out. I wanted feedback from my friends.

The verdict? Not as great as I would have liked, but VERY accurate reviews. The taste was, quite simply, not quite there…yet. A very talented friend thought that substituting Nutella for the peanut butter would do the trick.

She was right! The Banana Nutella Cups are incredibly moist, thanks to the bananas. What I love the most is that the Nutella, which can be very overpowering in some recipes, is really very subtle.

When I served Banana Nutella Cups at a lunch this week, my friends and I came to the conclusion that there’s no reason why these Cups shouldn’t be categorized as fruit. I think if I eat enough of them, I will certainly fulfill my daily intake of something. Even if it that something is happiness.

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup Nutella
  • 1½ cups sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 2¼ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
