3-ingredient Nutella muffins may be your new food obsession

These mini Nutella muffins are just as delicious as they are simple to make

There are easy recipes. And then there are recipes so easy you have to stop and ask yourself — really? This can’t possibly be worth even the two minutes of prep time and dirty dishes to wash. We’ll be honest; most of the time, you’d be right. Many of the “easy” recipes out there that are advertised as being simple and delicious, just aren’t. They’re either far more complicated than you signed up for, or, they were in fact easy to make, but left you pretty dissatisfied in the end. You would think that this muffin recipe would hardly be worth your while with a mere three ingredients, but you would be wrong.

Born in the early days of COVID, due to the basic need for something sweet paired frustratingly with empty grocery store shelves, this clever food blogger created a deliciously decadent, perfectly poppable, Nutella-flavored, mini muffin dream.

It might feel like summer has just begun, but the seemingly endless sunny, hot days won’t be here forever. Fall is heading towards us like a pumpkin-spice-fueled locomotive. And that’s not all bad. The coming of fall also means the beginning of tailgate season.

College football begins at the end of August and NFL training camps are already in full swing with the season beginning in early September. This means the time is right to prepare for an epic tailgating experience.

The best spiced rum cocktails to spice up your palate this fall
It's time to rethink spiced rum: The complex spirit is great in a number of fall-ready cocktails
Lava Roasted Manhattan cocktail.

It happens every year. As summer transitions into fall, it's time to say farewell to favorites such as pilsners, lighter wines, such as sauvignon blanc, and margaritas, and say what's up to Scotch whisky, cabernet sauvignon, and spiced rum cocktails.

That's right, it's time to transition to darker, heftier sippers to get us through the fall and winter. For rum drinkers, that means something aged longer and often hit with a complimentary batch of spices. You see, spiced rum can be a beautiful, complex, soothing drink when it is paired with just the right ratio of additives. Like a great gin, it can take on (or be infused with) a number of great aroma and flavor-building ingredients.

The Apple Jack cocktail is the 2-ingredient drink perfect for fall
This autumn cocktail is a must-have for whiskey and apple fans
Apple Jack

There are a few things synonymous with fall. This includes warm sweaters, famous pumpkin spice, and apples. The orchard fruit is used in almost every dessert dish and drink from September through the holidays. There’s apple cider (hot and spiced or cold), apple brandy, and of course, apple-centric cocktails. The latter is what we’re most interested in today.

And since summer was tiring, we’re not interested in mixing up any elaborate cocktails this fall. That’s why we love the Apple Jack cocktail. There aren’t many autumnal seasonal drinks simpler than this two-ingredient cocktail. To make it, all you need to apple juice and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey. That’s it.
