The outside looks like a plain vanilla muffin. But inside there’s a creamy pocket of Nutella hiding.
Can it get any better?
I don’t think so.
Loy says dessert-like muffins should be called “Muffcakes”. I agree completely.
Here’s how you make this magic – and please do go straight to your kitchen to make these. You will love yourself for it!
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 Tbs. baking powder
- 1 stick butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/3-1/2 cup Nutella
Stir the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl.
With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla and milk and mix until well blended.
Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients with a spoon. Stir gently, just until combined.
Spoon some batter into the bottom of 12 greased muffin cups. You’ll use about half of the batter for this step. Dollop Nutella in the middle of each muffin. Top with more batter to seal the Nutella inside. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Makes 1 dozen muffins.
Here’s what it looks like after the batter has been dolloped with Nutella, but before the top batter has been added:
I love that they’re so plain and unassuming. And then you bite into them and find creamy, delicious Nutella!
How much do you love Nutella? How often do you eat it?
I love Nutella. Your picture of the muffins looks great, good job! Here’s a post of other delicious Nutella recipes: http://www.foodlushblog.com/2011/03/nutella-recipe-round-up.html
I’m going to make these this week!
Those look delicious! My niece used the word “muffcakes” once, and I had to look it up. LOL!
You have just made my daughters’ day. The banana muffins were exhausted yesterday. They are great with a smear of Nutella. These will fill the empty place left on the cake plate at Miko’s Diner.
I packet a nutella sandwich for my daughter almost everyday this school year. I can’t wait to make these for her….
Teen and I LOVE Nutella. I have made your Nutella struedel more than once. It is amazing!! I cannot WAIT to try these.
Oh Yeah, Tiffany! Now these definitely are muffcakes. I would be making them today if it wasn’t going to be in the high 80’s here.
Oh I wish I hadn’t seen this! I love nutella and wish I could buy it in bulk. We clean out a jar in an afternoon with crackers around here!
Tiffany, darling. I believe you’ve achieved the perfect food! Can’t wait to try these.
Nutella is great!
One of my sons is a Nutella addict! These look great Tiffany, I know I’ll be making these for my family!
I have these in the oven now. Yum!
These were amazing! Thank you so much for the recipe, my husband is a baker and he went absolutely nuts for these!
These were so good! Even my Nutella-hating husband had one and liked it! LOL I have two social engagements this weekend where I will be taking these…I have had multiple requests every since I posted your blog link on my Facebook page. LOL!
I have never tried Nutella….this might just be the recipe that does it for me 🙂
what’s the serving size?
Diana, it makes 12 muffins.
Yum! YUm! and again I say YUM! =)
I made these recently and they got rave reviews.
I wonder if anyone has tried adding ripe bananas to the batter? Would I need to decrease the milk?
Cindy, adding bananas is a great idea. You might need to reduce the milk a bit. I’d add the bananas and part of the milk, then see if it needs more. You’ll also probably end up with more muffins.
Hi I m Ekta from India. Just wanted to know how much butter to use. Here we get butter in kgs or grams… Plz help ASAP…
