Nutella Muffins

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!
