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!

December 13, 2011 at 5:54 pmGreat job on the index. I added one to mine recently too. Took me a whole day and I was cranky by the time I was done but happy it’s over with. I have to admit remembering to update it every day escapes me. These muffins sure are tasty. I have to thank you for putting me on to Nutella. I finally bought some and have baked with it twice. I am so impressed, super good stuff.

December 14, 2011 at 12:49 amWe love nutella too! I find myself buying it with a recipe in mind, but every time I go into the kitchen, I sneak a little taste until it’s all gone. Maybe I’ll keep some around long enough to make these muffins. They look amazing!

Jennifer Eloff says
December 14, 2011 at 12:45 pmI once tasted Nutella at my cousin’s house and I was instantly “in love”. That stuff would really call my name. We had the most fabulous breakfast with crepes and all sorts of toppings, including Nutella. Which one did I eat….haha…two guesses!

Emily @ Life on Food says
December 18, 2011 at 12:28 pmFor some crazy reason I have let all of the Nutella disappear from my house. I need to add it to the list and get some ASAP. Yummy muffins. Nutella hot and drippy is so delicious!
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray says
December 20, 2011 at 9:57 amI’m late to the game but…this looks like the picture-perfect breakfast. Only problem is, does the Nutella make it off the spoon before it gets into my mouth??
Trang says
