Question about Tara McConnell's Nutella Muffins

Has anyone else made these? I followed the recipe exactly, but they didn't rise much and they are hard. Did I do something wrong? I don't think the group of college kids home on break and hanging out here will mind though. At least I hope not! I'm not making anything else tonight now!

Re: Question about Tara McConnell's Nutella Muffins

I'm sorry, haven't made them but just looked at the recipe.  I wonder if Tara left out an ingredient, wasn't the batter dry?

 

Nutella Muffins

Ingredients:

1 cup Nutella
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup peanut butter chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium mixing bowl, blend Nutella, egg, flour, and baking powder.

Stir in peanut butter chips. Batter will be very thick, like cookie d

ough. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full with batter. Press down to form to pan.

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until centers are set. Cool for 15 minutes and then run a sharp knife around the top edge of each muffin to remove from pan. Makes 6 muffins.

Tara's Tidbit: Feel free to use any baking chips that you like. I often use chocolate chips or white chocolate chips (or both!) to mix up the flavors.

The recipe looks like it needs some milk.

The same recipe is on Facebook with a pic. They do look dry.

ValuSkr - the batter was really dry. It was hard to stir it. I did it by hand. It seemed dry, but she said it would be in the recipe.

 

Nightowlz - maybe some milk would help. They were deflated in the muffin pans, and some of them were hard to get out. But the kids loved them - they said they were really good. Of course, I didn't tell them anything about all of this. I just asked how they were! Smiley Wink

Re: Question about Tara McConnell's Nutella Muffins

For me muffin recipes that don't have much liquid never turn out.I can find a top rated one and still no luck.I can feel the gluten forming in the flour too quickly as I mix and the dough gets stiff.This always yields dry muffins that dont rise well for me.,
