Pumpkin Nutella Muffins

November 14, 2013

 

Pumpkin Nutella Muffins {Simply Happenstance}

 :: Pumpkin Nutella Muffins ::

Oh my goodness, you guys! This is the BEST muffin combination… pumpkin + Nutella! During this time of year, I typically make plain pumpkin muffins and occasionally add in chocolate chips… but let me tell you, swirling in a dollop of creamy Nutella made an incredibly decadent difference! The pumpkin is flavorful and moist, while the Nutella creates a rich, chewy, chocolatey muffin top!

I doubled the recipe below and it made 18 muffins and one loaf to give away to a neighbor. This is the perfect baked treat to give to friends and family! If preparing this recipe as a loaf for others… you may want to buy a few of these darling paper loaf pans from Sur la Table. Wrapped in cellophane and tied with a simple bow… it makes for the perfect hostess gift or sweet treat for neighbors for the holidays! Enjoy!

Ingredients
  1. 1 cup {canned} pumpkin puree
  2. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  3. 3/4 cup brown sugar
  4. 2 eggs
  5. 1/2 cup canola oil {or melted butter, cooled}
  6. 1/3 cup water
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla
  8. 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  9. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  10. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  11. 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice {optional}
  12. 1/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-count standard muffin pan with baking cups or grease.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend together the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla until combined. In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth {make sure not to overmix}. Pour batter into the baking cups, until approximately 2/3 full.
  3. Put the Nutella into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 20-30 seconds or until it thins out just enough to swirl. Using a spoon, drop a small spoonful or two of Nutella onto the top of each muffin and swirl using the tip of a knife.
  4. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
  1. You can also add Nutella to the center of the muffins instead of swirling on top. To do this, simply start with a layer of the pumpkin batter, followed by a dollop of Nutella. Then top with more pumpkin batter until 2/3 full.
  2. You can easily double this recipe. I was able to make approximately 18 muffins and one large loaf {if making a loaf... just increase baking time in the oven}. Enjoy!

    I just showed these to my daughter and it looks like we’ll be making them tomorrow! 🙂 We have a half used can of pumpkin to be used up – the large costco size – does this call for a small can?

      Oh my thank you so much Rebecca for the kind words. Yes a small can. 1 cup is needed so it might be perfect for what is not used up from your costco size can. Let us know what you think! xoxo

    We had a hankering for chocolate chip cookies but no chocolate chips, so we decided to try this instead. Starting the recipe right…NOW!

    OMG! I just made these muffins for my son and let me tell you, probably the most delicious muffins I’ve ever had, let alone made myself! The nutella was truly the icing on the cake that really made a difference and they were incredibly moist. We will make these often. Yum!
    Thank you!
