Four Ingredient Nutella Peanut Butter Cakes
A while back I made four ingredient Nutella cakes. It’s still one of my favorite easy Nutella recipes because the Nutella taste is so strong. This weekend I decided to try experimenting with a Nutella and peanut butter mix.
Despite both being spreads, peanut butter is much thicker than Nutella so the cake batter was much thicker than I anticipated. The cakes themselves remain moist though. I think next time I might cut down a little more on the peanut butter. Or perhaps make the peanut butter a filling for the inside.
I do love how easy the cakes are to make and you can taste both the peanut butter and the Nutella. One bowl, one whisk, very little clean-up.

I’ve been busy recently, so I came up with quite a few “quick” recipes to try.

This looks unbelievably good! As if I needed another reason to keep Nutella in my house

I have Costco-sized Nutella jars in my house at all times. It’s a kitchen staple for me. =)

These look so cute!

Ah thanks. Everything is better as mini! I didn’t do anything to decorate them so they are a little plain, but oh so good.

Oh man, trying them with a peanut butter filling sounds amazing… Like a peanut butter cup muffin!

Ooh, that’s a good name. Peanut butter cup-cake. Okay that’s next on my list.

I was really looking forward to enjoying these easy nutella “muffins”, and they looked really cute when they came out of the oven. However, I was greatly disappointed when I bit into one. It tasted bland and boring and spongy. I barely tasted nutella. Honestly, these are not worth wasting half a jar of nutella on.

I’m sorry you feel that way. I’ve always loved them and they were a big hit on the web with other blogs as well. But of course everyone has different tastes.

Do you notice any difference in your recipes between using peanut butter that is 100% peanuts versus the oil and sugar laden peanut butters such as Skippy, Jiff, etc? I made this today using 100% peanut butter, added some extra salt since it was unsalted, and it came out pretty bland.

Well I never tried using the 100% peanuts. I’ve been using Skippy for this one, so that might be it.
