Strawberry Nutella Cupcakes

This recipes makes about 8-10 cupcakes. I have inherited the recipe from this blog:  http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/strawberry-nutella-muffins/  and made some modifications to it.

I made these cupcakes/muffins at home and they were done in a day.They are too addictive.

INGREDIENTS:

All Purpose Flour- 1.5 cups
Whole Milk- 1/2 cup
Egg-1
Canola or Vegetable Oil-1/2 cup
Sugar- 1 cup
Strawberries-1.5 cup-Cut into small pieces (make sure they are ripe)
Nutella-1/2 - 1 cup
Baking Powder-1 tsp
Baking Soda-1/4 tsp
Vanilla Extract- 1 tsp
salt-1/4 tsp

PROCEDURE:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Now place some cupcake liners on your muffin pan.
  3. Mix egg,sugar,oil,milk and vanilla extract in medium speed.
  4. Now add the flour,baking powder,baking soda,salt slowly into the wet ingredients one by one and mix completely till no lumps.
  5. Turn off your blender/whisker and fold in the cut strawberries.
  6. Now in the muffin pan with cupcake liners, pour some batter until half full. Add a spoon of nutella or how much ever nutella you want(if you are a chocoholic like me).
  7. Add the rest of the the batter until 3/4 full. 
  8. Place in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until the inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
  9. Wait till cool and enjoy as breakfast or dessert.
  10. You can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cupcakes once cooled for decoration and serve.
TIPS:
  1. When baking always use whole milk for extra flavor.
  2. Also use only large eggs for baking.
  3. If you live in high altitude like Colorado, try using Hungarian brand high altitude unbleached all purpose flour for best results.
  4. You can substitute butter instead of oil.
  5. Whenever you make cupcakes, you always fill only till 3/4 th of the cupcake mold to leave room for the batter to grow when baking and not spill outside.
