Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 8 tablespoons Nutella™ hazelnut spread with skim milk & cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons toasted almonds, chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Brush 12 regular-size muffin cups with melted butter. In small bowl, stir together cream cheese and icing sugar; set aside.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat eggs with whisk; beat in milk, brown sugar and salt. Add baguette pieces; toss to coat. Divide half of mixture evenly among muffin cups.

Place remaining 1/4 cup hazelnut spread in small microwavable bowl; microwave uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over muffins; top with almonds.
