Ok so I work for a catering company and as a result, I get to try a TON of yummy food! The other day, our chef brought me a Nutella muffin and I fell in love! I decided to try and make it at home.
Let me try and make your mouth water here - This muffin was a soft, moist, vanilla flavored muffin with pockets of Nutella throughout. To top it all off, the top had a drizzle of (you guessed it!) even more Nutella. YUM right?
I had to have more.
I went to the store and bought:
1) Nutella (of course!)
2) Krusteaz almond poppyseed muffin mix (it was the closest to vanilla that I could find)
Step 1:
Mix all the ingredients together that it says to on the box but DON'T mix in the poppyseeds.
Step 2:
Spoon the mix into your muffin pan after you put the papers in it.
Step 3:
Put a dollop of Nutella on the top of each muffin (try melting it in the microwave a little bit first so that it spreads more evenly on the top of the muffin). Push it down into the muffin mix a little bit with a toothpick so that it makes a "swirl" of Nutella in the top half of the muffin.
Step 4:
Bake it like the box says.
Step 5:
Once they come out of the oven, have more slightly melted Nutella ready for them (See step 3). Drizzle the slightly melted Nutella on the top.
Step 6:
Let cool, grab a glass of milk, and enjoy!
As a variation on this recipe, you can put the dollop of Nutella in the middle of your muffin and just add the drizzle on top. That would be super yummy!
