Nutella Muffins

Erika Marucci
Nutella Muffins are soft, moist and the best breakfast treat or afternoon snack! These muffins are swirled with Nutella and have a Nutella center so every bite is full of chocolate and hazelnut flavor.

Ingredients
 
 

  • ½ cup All purpose flour
  • ¼ cup Cornstarch
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (2% fat at room temperature)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Egg yolk
  • ⅓ cups Granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 5 teaspoons Nutella (cold and firm)
  • 5 teaspoons Nutella (warm for swirling)

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C) and either use liners or grease and flour a muffin tin.
  • In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch.
  • In another medium bowl beat the sugar, eggs, salt and vanilla together for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Keep beating and add the vegetable oil.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the flour mix to the wet mix and beat on low speed, then add the greek yogurt slowly and keep beating. Add the rest of the flour and keep beating on low speed until the mix looks smooth.
  • Fill the muffin tins half way and add half a teaspoon of warm Nutella and swirl it in the batter with a toothpick. Place 1 teaspoon of cold Nutella in the middle of the batter and cover it with more batter to fill up the muffin tin. Add another half teaspoon of Nutella and swirl it again with a toothpick.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

To make the best Nutella muffins, use room temperature ingredients including the yogurt and eggs. Room temperature ingredients mix better for the best batter.
For the warm Nutella, you can warm it in the microwave for 20 seconds or so. 
For the cold Nutella, place it in the refrigerator until firm.
You can store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for several days.
You can also freeze the muffins, for up to two months. Store them in a freezer bag or container.
