Nutella Muffins – Soft and tender homemade muffins with a delicious swirl of Nutella.
If you are new here, you might not be familiar with my muffin obsession. You can see the many many muffin recipes that I have shared over the years. There is just something about homemade muffins. They are great to have stashed in the freezer for quick and easy breakfast any morning of the week.
Chocolate Chip Muffins are my son’s all time favorite, and I often have my freezer stocked with them. I try to do something a little healthier. These Chocolate Oatmeal Banana Blender Muffins are my go-to. They are naturally gluten free, have no butter or oil, and no refined sugar. So I can feel better about eating them. These nutella muffins? They are 100% a treat that I will work into my life at any time.
This muffin recipe is based off my chocolate chip muffins. They are dense, but still moist and tender. And of course the swirl of Nutella makes them extra tasty. Because I am all for Nutella in any form. I mean, Nutella Oreo Truffles are such a great treat to make.
How to Make Muffins
- The most important thing with making muffins is not over mixing the batter. If you do the muffins will be tough.
- To make sure that muffins are tender, start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
- Measure all of the liquid ingredients in a liquid measuring cup.
- Stir the milk mixture into the flour and stir until just combined.
- An ice cream scoop ensures that all of the muffins are the same size and it doesn’t make a mess of your muffin tin.
- Spoon in Nutella into the center of each muffins and use a toothpick, knife, or bamboo skewer to swirl around.
- Bake until a tester comes out clean. You will have chocolate on the tester, but you want to make sure there isn’t any muffin batter.
- Let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Can you Freeze Muffins?
Absolutely! I always freeze leftover muffins in a freezer safe plastic bag. They last in the freezer for 2-3 months.
I am always looking for new muffin recipes to try and these look amazing! Definitely going on the list!

These muffins look so perfect and who doesn’t love Nutella?
Grace says
Hi! Can this recipe be made into a loaf?
Erin S says
I have not actually tested it that way, but I can not see why it would not work. The baking time would obviously be longer, closer to 45-60 minutes would be my guess. Just cover with foil at the end if it is getting to dark and not fully cooked in the middle.
Lori says
My muffins turned out horribly. They didnt taste bad but they looked terrible. I wouldn’t even serve them so in the trash they went. As they cooled they sank in the middle, leaving huge holes in the tops. Very disappointed
Sha says
Hi.. how can i tweak the recipe if i want to use Cake Flour? Thanks a million!
Erin S says
To substitute cake flour you would use 1 cup plus 2 Tbls for every cup of all purpose flour called for in the recipe. That is the general rule when using cake flour in the place of all-purpose in any recipe. Enjoy!
Christy says
I would like to ask how is the recipe in grams? I am not sure how much is one cup… can you advise that?
Erin S says
According to google – 1 cup = 120 grams. I am sorry, I don’t know the conversions.
