“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!
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).
Just a little tip before the recipe
Be smart and always keep the frozen portions of Nocciolata in the freezer: they will be immediately ready for use when you will have a big desire of these granola muffins!
