Stuffed & Swirled Nutella Muffins
If you’re Nutella fan, then you’re probably totally fine with spreading it on crepes, fruit, or let’s be real–eating it straight out of the jar. All of those options are fine, but the ultimate Nutella experience comes in the form of Nutella muffins! Picture it now: soft, tender vanilla-flavored muffins with a rich and gooey chocolate/hazelnut filling and sparkly, sugared Nutella swirled tops…heavenly, right? The base of this recipe is very similar to what I use for my blueberry muffins. It’s sturdy (but still soft) enough to hold the Nutella filling, which minimizes the risk of the tops collapsing in on themselves (a common issue with muffins that have a filling). It’s also not overly sweet, which really complements the pops of white chocolate throughout.

What You Need
Let’s highlight a few of the important ingredients that make these Nutella muffins so special: SAM’S TIP: Don’t over-mix your batter! This batter is very thick, so be gentle (no mixers here!). Once your wet and dry ingredients are combined, stop mixing. Over-mixed muffin batter will create dry, dense Nutella muffins. Remember, this is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why.

How to Make Nutella Muffins
Like my chocolate chip muffins, Nutella muffins bake at two different temperatures. Starting them at a higher temperature and then dropping it (without opening the oven!) creates tall, bakery-style muffin tops. SAM’S TIP: The muffin liners in today’s pictures are actually homemade!
