Note: This frosting was put on banana muffins… it is my Grandpa’s recipe from when I was little! You can find Grandpa Z’s Banana Cupcakes here! This recipe is great on banana, chocolate or vanilla cupcakes!
I absolutely LOVE Nutella… I could quite possibly live on it. My favorite has always been on warm toast so it gets all melty… but now that I’ve made it in frosting form, I have a new favorite! What is not to love!
I was surprised at how much the hazelnut flavor comes out in this recipe!
Although I used the “store Nutella” in this recipe, don’t forget to check out my homemade Nutella recipe!
