Foodie Friday - Slimming world Nutella Cupcakes

Up until a few weeks ago when we had a taster at slimming world, I will hold my hands up and say that I had never tried Nutella. However someone made something using Nutella and I instantly felt like I had been missing out for the last 24 years of my life.

I decided since it was something I had enjoyed and you could enjoy on slimming world - i took to the internet to see if I could find any other recipes. That is when I stumbled upon gold dust!!!!

Now wait for it not only are these little cupcakes amazingly tasty and have nutella in them - you could (if you so wished but I couldn't) eat 20 for 10 syns! Yes that is right! These gorgeous little bundles of chocolatey goodness are just half a syn each!!!!

You will need:

  • 6 eggs 
  • 14 tbsp of sweetener 
  • 2 drops of vanilla essence 
  • 2 oz ( or 56g) of Self Raising Flour 
  • 2tsp of baking powder 
  • 2 tbsp of Nutella 
Recipe: 
  1. Whisk the eggs, sweetener and vanilla essence in a bowl for 10 minutes using an electric whisk until thick and creamy - dont skip this step - you need to get the fluffiness into the eggs as this is where you get the fluffiness in your cakes. 
  2. Add the flour and baking powder and fold in
  3. Divide into 24 cupcake cases and bake in the oven for 10 mins at 200 degrees 
  4. Leave to cool 
  5. Melt the nutella and spread onto the cupcakes 
Enjoy enjoy enjoy! 

I made these cakes for work last week as a lot of our girls are all doing slimming world, needless to say I didnt come home with any. 

I love to experiment with little cakes like this. You could make the cake and use other toppings which I am going to experiment with. I'll keep you posted.
