This muffin recipe is supposed to be up last week, but Bryan and I went on a very last minute trip to San Francisco. We made the decision to go on Tuesday and left on Friday. Totally not my style (I’m a planner), but it ended up to be a nice and relaxing trip. Cute baby, good food, gorgeous vineyards and fancy wine.

Ok, let’s talk about the muffins.

I’m always looking for a quick breakfast in the morning. Something not too big that goes well coffee (or tea) and easy to heat up. Muffins are definitely one of those.

These muffins are made with ripe banana and swirled with Nutella. Two of my favorite things together in one. Although I love Nutella, I try not to overstuff them in the muffins. I think this has just enough Nutella that doesn’t overpower the banana flavors. Also thanks to the addition of sour cream, the muffins are moist.

They are easy to make. Freeze them and reheat in microwave in the morning. Just what you need when you need a quick bite before heading out the door.

Ingredients

  • 240 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 200 grams sugar (1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon sour cream (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/3 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium banana)
  • ½ cup Nutella

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (177˚C). Line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together oil and sugar. Add eggs and sour cream, and whisk until just combined. Add mashed banana and dry ingredients. With a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined.
  • Fill each paper liners half full with batter. Scoop about ¼ teaspoon Nutella and add to each muffin cup in a few additions, so the Nutella is spread out (not in a dollop). Fill the muffin cups with more batter until ¾ full. Once again, scoop about ¼ teaspoon Nutella and add to each muffin cup in a few additions. Using a toothpick, slightly swirl the top part of the muffin.
  • Bake in the oven for 17 – 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and the middle springs back when press slightly. Remove from oven and cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes. Serve or transfer the muffins to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes

  1. When filling the batter with Nutella, try to spread them out and NOT to drop a dollop. The batter can’t hold the dollop of Nutella that well, so it will sink to the bottom. 
  2. For storage, keep the muffins on a cooling rack and cover with a towel. They will stay good for the next day.
  3. To freeze, put the muffins to a baking sheet. Place in the freezer for a few hours until harden. Transfer the muffins to a Ziploc bag and keep for a month. When ready to eat, pop one in microwave for about 45 seconds.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
