These bite-sized banana cupcakes get an upgrade thanks to the chocolate-hazelnut frosting. To prepare the bananas, you can mash them with a fork. Forego the green bananas in favor of ones that are speckled with brown spots. Their flavor is sweeter and their texture is softer, making them ideal to stir into this cupcake batter. The Greek yogurt helps keep the cupcakes moist and also adds some nice old-fashioned tang to the batter, while the coconut oil in its solid form is used as a replacement for butter. Fold the Nutella into the whipped topping just before you’re ready to smear it on and serve them.
Ingredients:
  • 4 sprays cooking spray
  • 3 tbsp hazelnut and chocolate spread
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • ½ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup banana, puree (from 2 large ripe bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup fat-free whipped topping

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 24-cup mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, mix together yogurt, banana, egg, sugar, vanilla, and oil. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; fold to combine.
  3. Evenly divide batter among prepared pan (about 1 3/4 Tbsp in each); bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 10 minutes. Let cupcakes cool in a pan, about 30 minutes.
  4. When ready to serve whisk together whipped topping and Nutella; spread 2 tsp topping onto each cupcake.
  5. Serving Size: 1 cupcake.
