Chocolate Nutella Muffins Without Eggs

Hello friends,

I hope you’re ready for a nice, chocolatey and indulgent snack! And if I tell you this recipe is easy to make, I imagine your taste buds are already tingling! 😉

Here are my soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs.

Ultra indulgent muffins

So this recipe is really, really indulgent, I’m warning you… Be careful, you might get hooked and the chocolate addiction won’t be far off… 😉 I’m joking of course, but that doesn’t take away from the deep deliciousness of my soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs.

My soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs, a no-waste recipe!

This recipe also has the added benefit of being a no-waste one, let me explain… At home, we love bananas. We love them raw of course, but also cooked. For reference, here are a few recipes that highlight them:

• the banana upside-down cake
• the banana and chocolate spread pavlova
• the banana muffins

Recipes to use up your very ripe bananas

But we’re not so fond of overly ripe bananas, even less so when they’re very, very ripe. And that’s where the no-waste side of my soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs comes in. We’re going to use one well-ripened mashed banana in the mixture to replace the egg. Hence the “egg-free” recipe. In the same vein, you’ll find on the blog:

• the banana pancakes
• the chocolate banana bread
• the banana bread by Chef Simone Zanoni

My tips for successful soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs

Alright, now that that’s said, I need to tell you two things.

The first concerns the sugar. Here I use a mix of brown sugar and light brown sugar. This is mainly for texture reasons. If you don’t have one or the other (or both!), just use regular granulated sugar. Your soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs will still be delicious.

Second, I have a recommendation regarding your oven. And this tip applies to any muffin recipe. To get nicely domed muffins with a symmetrical shape (and avoid wonky ones!), set your oven to traditional or static mode. Avoid fan-forced heat. Also, place your muffin tray in the lower part of the oven. You’ll see… it makes all the difference!

A word about Nutella

I know that even mentioning this brand can spark a lot of reactions. First of all, when I say Nutella, I mean chocolate spread. Other brands will work just fine. Your homemade spread too.

That said, I admit it’s the brand I always have at home. My kids really like it and eat it in moderation. That, for me, is the key point. After that, everyone is free to do what feels right… 😉

Essential utensils:

A large bowl,

A good whisk,

A spatula,

A piping bag for filling (or a small ladle) and for adding the chocolate spread,

Paper muffin cases

And muffin baking trays or individual paper cases.

There you go, we can get started on making our soft chocolate Nutella muffins without eggs!

The recipe, Chef!
