Nutella Muffins

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. 

Nutella Muffins

 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. 

What You’ll Need

• All-Purpose Flour
• Sugar
• Salt
• Baking Powder
• Oil

How to Make Muffins

Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card to get the measurements and full instructions!

1. The most important thing with making muffins is not over mixing the batter.  If you do the muffins will be tough. 
2. To make sure that muffins are tender, start by mixing the dry ingredients together in a bowl. 
3. Measure all of the liquid ingredients in a liquid measuring cup. 
4. Stir the milk mixture into the flour and stir until just combined. 
5. 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. 
6. Spoon in Nutella into the center of each muffins and use a toothpick, knife, or bamboo skewer to swirl around.
7. 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. 
8. Let them cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Recipe Tips

• The biggest tip for these muffins is to just gently swirl in the Nutella. Some people have actually really mixed it in, and the complain about their muffins falling and being hollow. It is designed to be a gentle swirl as shown in the images and the video. So use a knife or toothpick once you scoop in the batter and just swirl.
• Be careful not to overmix your batter. This is why mixing in the Nutella after they are in the muffin cups is such a big deal. Muffin batter is more delicate that it looks. If you want light and fluffy muffins, you can’t stir too much, or the glutens develop in the flour faster than they should, and it makes your muffins tough and not a good texture.
• Don’t like Nutella? Don’t worry, you could use peanut butter, biscoff spread or any else that is this same consistency that you swirl in the batter.

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.

How to Freeze Muffins

1. Allow muffins to cool completely
2. Place in a plastic freezer safe storage bag
3. Freeze for 2-3 months
4. To serve microwave for about 30 seconds per muffin, or let thaw on the counter for a couple hours.
