GRANOLA MUFFINS

“Mom, thank you, thank you, thank you!”

This was Ludovica’s reaction, completed by a strong hug, when I gave her one of these muffins for breakfast!

“Mmmmm, yummy! Good mummy! More “baffin” Oivia”

This is the one of my little Olivia! : D

Now … I could go directly to the recipe, without adding other words to this post because I believe that the reactions of the girls already say all about the goodness of these our new muffins!

However, you know me, I want to give you also my own description of these granola muffins with hazelnut spread soft heart: divine!

GRANOLA MUFFINS

Why are they so yummy?

The hazelnut dough, fragrant and very soft, hides a very special surprise: a heart of hazelnut cream spread that always remains soft. I have a very simple TRICK: the pre-freezing of the cream in the ice cubes molds!

For this recipe I wanted to try the new Nocciolata Crunchy, enriched with chopped toasted hazelnuts and I’d like to give more emphasis to the crunchy side of these muffins by completing them with a super crunchy chocolate granola!

Believe me if I tell you that you will love them!

The recipe is very easy, fast and, as always, childproof: you need only 15 minutes to prepare the mixture!

Obviously at this time, you must add the one useful for freezing the Nocciolata (you have to calculate 1 hour).
