Nutella Muffins

Nutella Muffins

I have a weakness for Nutella.  I can’t keep a jar of it in the house or I end up eating half of the jar with just a spoon.  A little here, a little there, before I know it half the jar is gone. 

Sometimes I can’t help myself when I find myself at the grocery store and a I see a lonely jar of Nutella on the shelf.  I know it is just destined to come home with me.  I just better put it under lock and key or I’m in trouble. 

Nutella Muffins

I love Nutella for many things.  Sometimes as a little snack, I will spread a little Nutella on a flour tortilla and wrap it up with a banana.  It is so good like that!  My Nutella Brownies are wildy popular.  Thank you so much for the continued positive feedback on that recipe.  I am so thrilled that everyone love those.  If you haven’t tried those yet, those are a must try.  They may quickly become your new favorite brownie.

These Nutella Muffins may become a new favorite of yours as well.  They are light, moist and delicious served warm alone or even spread with a little strawberry preserves.  Try them even as a dessert with a little vanilla ice cream.  You may also pop them in the freezer so you have some on hand anytime the urge for one hits.  They thaw quickly in the microwave or even just sitting on the counter.

  1. Hi, these look fabulous! I would love to try these out. Just a little question…do you know who many grams 1/2 cup of Nutella is?? Thanks 🙂
    Will let you know about the result!!
    Ciao, Letizia

  2. I just made these following the recipe exactly and they came out PERFECT, and I am not a baker by any means. These were the first muffins I’d ever made. Thanks for posting this – delicious!

  3. For anyone who actually tries to use this recipe
    (as it’s one of the first one that comes up when you google “nutella muffins”)

    Not bad but the texture comes out pretty weird because of the nutella. Not fluffy but more sponge-like and dense. Almost feels a bit uncooked and batter-like in the middle when the bottom is definitely well done. Definitely wait for them to cool before you try to eat them as otherwise the gooey part will stick and you won’t get much of the muffin.

    The flavor is incredible though! You can cut out some of the sugar and it still tastes great.

  4. These taste great just as chocolate muffins, but my family and I don’t taste any Nutella or hazelnut, even though I halved the chocolate chips. Great texture and they look incredible! I wish they had more Nutella flavor.

  5. Those muffins are amazing and so easy to make! Being a university student with limited time and a weakness for sweet things, those muffins are a lifesaver!! Thank you so much! Wonderful recipe!

    Kisses from Greece!

  6. Hi, when I mix in the flour into the wet mixture, the flour did not completely dissolve into the wet mixture there are tiny lumps. Is it normal?

  7. Do you think these would turn out ok if I turned the heat down to 350 and baked for 25 minutes? My son is severely allergic to eggs but is undergoing OIT.. he can eat baked eggs cooked at 350 for 25 mins. They just sound too good to pass up! 🙂

    1. Hi Sophie, Unfortunately I have not tested this recipe to be baked at a lower temperature so unfortunately I can’t tell you how these would turn out if baked at 350 for 25 minutes. It might be worth a try! Let me know how it turns out if you give it a try.

  8. I just made these and they are delicious!! It made 15 muffins, so more to enjoy. This will be a recipe I will use often. Thank you!
    I give it 5 stars although for some reason it will let me give you only 4.
