I’m alive!

Nutella Cupcakes 4

Please please forgive my missing-in-action-ness, but I went from a solid week of rehearsals leading up to a magical concert straight to a New York tour and lots of incredible food to share with you. It’s a whirlwind but I love it and I love you too and everything is okay.

Actually, everything is wonderful! We all have to remember that. There is so much to be grateful for. I’ve got a huge batch of life- changingly delicious nutella muffins, a brilliant muffin ballad courtesy of Tina Fey, an audacious notion that I should give up nutella for Lent, and a group of wonderful readers who will eat the muffins for me.

Go ahead.

Take a bite.

See?

Everything is going to be okay.

And you never skipped breakfast again.

I love breakfasts that can pass as desserts. It sounds so much more reasonable than the other way around.

Speaking of the most important meal of the day, I take my dessert very seriously. But breakfast is important too. Enter my new favorite best of both worlds.

My favorite yogurt shop near school sells these fabulous breakfast bars, and I was so excited when the company wanted to give some away to a (very) lucky Foodie Fiasco reader.

Rise Bars 1

Rise Bars are made with wholesome, scrumptious ingredients that make the breakfast of champions feel like an indulgence.

Without further ado, let’s make some muffins!

Whip up your batter lickity split and evenly distribute among your fanciest muffin liners. (Ehem, cupcake liners could go either way.) The secret for this is to use an ice cream scoop for even batter scoopage.

Now swirl in the nutella! I love this part. Your swirls don’t have to be perfect, but you absolutely must have fun making them. The nutella will love you either way.

Bake and behold.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups white whole wheat flour OR 3/4 cup almond meal plus 3/4 cup coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup erythritol or sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 1 tsp distilled white or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Nutella (I used homemade

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 cup muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, erythritol or sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add in the almond milk, vanilla extract, applesauce, and vinegar until the batter is uniform and no pockets of flour remain. Take care not to over stir.
  3. Evenly distribute the batter into the cupcake liners. The trick to doing this is using an ice cream scoop. It makes the process very neat and keeps the cupcakes the same size so they bake evenly. Bake in the oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before frosting.
  4. Devour.

  1. My favorite breakfast has got to be nutella with strawberries and crepes! Soo amazing! But just a huge fruit salad would be a close second!

  2. My absolutely favorite breakfast...chocolate strawberry protein smoothie..takes time, but SO worth it. Also..I love grabbing a protein or homemade granola bar for breakfast, so these look delicious!

  16. I have to say I love a lot of breakfast foods!!! But eggs have been a little overdone at my house, sooooo I have to say a big bowl of Apple Jacks, or Corn Pops, would have to be my favorite breakfast! I know I'm such a baby eating sugar cereal first thing, but what can I say YOLO ;) But I do love pancakes too!!!

  17. My favorite breakfast is either eggs with spinach and hot sauce, or oatmeal, with a banana and peanut butter on top!

  18. Right now, I've just been eating oatmeal with granola. Seems to do the trick. Oh, and I need to have an apple (or pear) if I'm at work. It starts of my day well regardless of what happens later...

  19. My favorite breakfast is currently your All for One Banana Bread! I love it so much, I at least double or triple the recipe every time!

  24. I've always been an oatmeal gal :) I like to spice it up with different toppings for a little variety. My all time favorite is adding peanut butter. Mmmm that melty goodness is like a treat!

  25. Coffee cake is the best breakfast ever! I always make it for my B-day…so good with straight black coffee. Just talking about it makes my mouth water.

  27. Well this morning I had vegetable soup for breakfast per my doctor's suggestion, but I would MUCH rather have a breakfast bar like one of these!

  35. I'm a total breakfast bar girl! I usually try to go for ones like Kind bars that have ingredients I approve of. These Rise bars sound awesome :D.

  42. Eggs with grilled vegetables, Indian upma or oatmeal for breakfast. I liked you on facebook and follow you on pinterest and twitter (I'd do that anyway, but I certainly don't qualify for a giveway, being in Germany LOL). Love the idea of these muffins!

  44. MMM.... LOVE ME SOME NUTELLA! One of my favorite brekkies has got to be Marmite on buttered multigrain toast with cheddar cheese on top or just plain ol' mashed avocado on toast (multigrain, of course!) with sprinklings of salt and freshly ground pepper. Look forward to trying me some Rise Bars! :-)

  45. My absolute favorite breakfast is french toast just like my dad used to make. It was absolutely sublime with his special cinnamon swirl raisin bread.

  62. My favorite breakfast... My favorite breakfast... Ummm... I think it would have to be waffles! :) That's a hard one. ;) [I also like greek yogurt w/ berries and truvia, french toast, smoothies (Trim Healthy Mama version), steel cut oats, etc. etc.]

  63. Hi Kelly! Let me just say I have not found a single recipe of your that I have not loved. My favorite breakfast is all homemade. I make one of your single serving snickerdoodles with homemade oat flour( I find it gives it a bit of a crunchy texture from the partially ground oats, it's by far my favorite cookie) and add a side of blended frozen raspberry sorbet with a piece of whole wheat toast with your homemade almond butter I am a huge fan of finding new granola bars so this contest was very exciting to me. Thanks for all the recipes!

  67. I love my regular banana porridge, but my absolute favourite breakfast ever is brioche french toast. So sinfully good!!
    Reply

  68. Favorite breakfast is definitely a half cup of oatmeal. Sometimes apple chunks, pumpkin seeds, various nuts, and or berries make their way in there but currently my preferred addition are golden raisins. That with a happy cup of loose leaf tea and a morning could not get any better :)

  74. Hmm...Lately green smoothies fit my bill, but then again there's the irresistable Dutch Baby/oven pancake. Ooh then there's the wide assortments of banana, peanut butter, and chocolate goodness for breakfast. Decisions, decisions.... Oh and to join in on the rest of the comments, I too follow your social media pages. :) Thanks so much and keep it up!

  78. Pumpkin oatmeal. My obsession is out of control in the fall. I'm talking pumpkin oatmeal three times a day. Oops!

  80. my favorite breakfast is oatmeal with cinnamon and almond milk and flaxseed mixed in, and sometimes peanut flour too (which i discovered thanks to you!)

  84. I usually have one of two breakfasts- three if you count the single serving cinnamon bun recipe I've started making almost every Saturday for breakfast since you posted it. I typically either make a smoothie with a frozen banana and almond milk base with add ins, or I have low cal whole wheat French Toast (just toast, vanilla, almond milk, an egg, and spices). Breakfast is always important to me, otherwise I fall out of desks and things about halfway through the morning in school....

  97. I"m so making these with the chocolate PB I just got! Thanks for your always awesome recipes, it's th only place I've found vegan recipes with coconut flour, so you rock :) I could eat (and do) breakfast foods at all times of day, usually they are all of my snacks and bedtime meal. I love granola and cereals typcially with big blobs of nut butter and cold almond milk. If it's cold I love warm bowls of oats, also with nut butter. Ok ok really I'm a nut butter addict...

  98. I eat oatmeal almost every day for breakfast. I too love Rise bars. I found them online. Haven't found them in a store near me yet :(

  100. I usually have a yummy green smoothie for breakfast but I love the weekends when my hubby cooks a huge breakfast. And I'm always a sucker for muffins!! Love muffins and tea any time of day!

  104. I'm a breakfast girl, always have been and always will be. :) Therefore, I feel very qualified to pick my favorite morning food--except that there are so many to choose from! As of this minute, my favorite is baked oatmeal in any form or fashion, but I also love muffins. And omelets. And parfaits. And French toast. Hey, I'm just a loving person! P.S. My sisters and I love your blog. Keep up the good work!

  105. Hey, Kelly! (: Breakfast has always been weird for me. When I was a wee child, I would have a breakfast of Nutella, and strawberry cream-cheese, slathered on toast, sandwiched, and cut into quarters (ALWAYS quarters.) It was like a chocolate covered strawberry, in sandwich form! As a pre-teen, breakfast become harder to fit into my excessive morning routine and I stopped eating it. It started to make me feel ill when I did eat it. Now, as a teenager (fourteen and three months, thankyouverymuch), it's still hard to squeeze into my methodical mornings (which is why ready-to-eat bars are my savior), but I’ve learned to manage, and I LOVE me a kale smoothie, or quinoa pudding (think Kozy Shack, but homemade, and quinoa— how could that not be amazing?). I'm just happy to say I eat breakfast enough these days to have a favorite breakfast food! (PS - Rise bars, from my research, seem uber cool. Just saying (; ) Thanks for another amazing recipe, Kelly!

  115. What am I missing? Why did you set aside a half a cup of batter? And you mentioned frosting, but I don't see a recipe for frosting. What do you use the half a cup that is set-aside?

  116. My favorite breakfast is a big bowl of fresh fruit followed by some oatmeal "cheesecake" pancakes (made with oats, eggs whites and cottage cheese)

  126. Hi sweetie! I admit - I'm kind of getting addicted to your site. I find myself checking everyday and am often surprised by the scrumptious photos and new uses for coconut flour. We tried the single serve goodies - cocoa cake and cinnamon buns - did a little tweaking to suit our needs and they are great! I like using monk fruit sweetener - looks and measures like sugar but no blood sugar bounce. I think the right bar can be invaluable - keeping one on track when the food nasties tempt - it is so easy to grab a candy bar instead of real food. So thank you for your wonderful efforts and upbeat attitude -- good food can be fun !!!!! Chris

  127. Hi again We do intermittent fasting 2 days a week so my favorite breakfast is the one on the morning after a fast day ! Usually scrambled egg in coconut oil with a. tiny bit of ham and gluten free onion matzo. Crispy buttery salty yum- Heaven!!! Chris

  128. I usually have fruit or a green smoothie for breakfast. Trying to 'get used to' the gluten free mouthfeel.So far...not a huge fan of GF baked gods. Too dry or gritty. :(

  129. For breakfast, I love the southwestern style egg whites turned into an omelet ^.^ with my cup of coffee of course :)

  133. I once went to this camp one summer when I was 11 years old and they had this thing called a morning delight. YUM!!! It is like french toast coated with brown sugar on the bottom, sweet! But I also like eggs with spinach and mushrooms or a strawberry banana smoothies! But oatmeal was never a big thing for me, but that was mainly because whenever I would it I would not put enough sugar in it ("I am not going to put this humongous lump of caloric sweetener known as sugar for one breakfast" I am weird aren't I?) and it came out sickening to my stomach. But hey! That is my fault! Oatmeal is probably great if you are afraid of over boarding the sugar. Very nice recipe!

    • Holy yum that sounds delicious!! Brown sugar-coated food is always a good thing. I love the versatility and balance that your breakfasts have! Eggs and smoothies are both awesome starts to the day and it's easy to sneak some veggies into them. You're completely on point with your oatmeal outlook too, so many of the pre-packaged ones have loads of sweetener in 'em! One tip that has really helped thicken and flavor my oatmeal is cooking the oats in almond milk and a mashed banana, and then top with berries or some other fresh fruit! However, if the texture gets to ya there's basically no way around it. Perhaps baked oatmeal could be your go-to? Let's do brunch. You bring the morning delights, I'll bring edible oatmeal! Break.
