Nutella Muffin

On Valentine's Day, my division at the University organised a cofee morning for Valentine's Day Cake Appeal to raise money for British Heart Foundation (BHF). All staffs were encouraged to make some cookes or cakes for sale, and all proceed will go to BHF Heart Nurses which raises money to fund more specialist heart nurses.

While surfing the net, I noticed a one-off event, Muffin Monday, at IMBB which is hosted by Elena at Experiment.

Then it strikes me that I can make muffin for the coffee morning. But which type of muffin?? Valentine's day.....chocolate......NUTELLA!!! I was in a big craving for Nutella. No thanks to David because he received a jar of Nutella from a friend, and offered it to me. I turned down his offer, but the craving for it was already imprinted in me! So, I went out and bought a jar of Nutella to make this muffin.




I used the basic muffin recipe provided by Elena and added Nutella into it.
