Whole Wheat Nutella Brownie Muffins-My Life Well Loved

This weekend was so much fun! Eric and I got lots of time to have alone time, enjoy a date night, play tennis, watch Iron Man 3 and we also got to spend a good amount of time with fabulous friends and even squeezed in a 5k race! (I’ll fill you in on all that later though.) I figured since I was exercising so much, I had earned a treat. As many of you know from following me on Pinterest, I’m really into building up a list of healthier desserts right now….and I’ve created a whole board just for that!

We went over to our friends’ house Saturday night and were treated to grapefruit margaritas, kale artichoke dip & chips, grilled pork tenderloin & a strawberry balsamic goat cheese salad! I was asked to bring a dessert and since Erin and I both work at Pure Barre, we tried to keep it on the healthy side. I ended up stumbling upon this recipe from Remodelaholic and went to baking!

5 Ingredient Whole Wheat Nutella MuffinsOf course, I had to add my own little twist which was pretty ingenious if I do say so myself. I made these brownie muffins but served them with hazelnut gelato…perfecto! And with only 5 ingredients, this recipe is simple.

Nutella Brownie Muffins-a healthier dessert from My Life Well Loved

These little desserts are best eaten warm from the oven and served with Hazelnut ice cream. I like that this recipe only makes a few muffins so you’re forced to keep portion control in mind. My batch only made 8 so divided amongst four of us, we each had two, which was the perfect amount to get our sweet fix without totally blowing it.
