How to Make It

Note: This is an overview. See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.

1. Prep Your Ingredients and Tools
Start by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly to prevent sticking. Trust me, you don’t want to skip this step—no one likes a muffin that won’t let go!

2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients until smooth. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. A few lumps are totally fine—overmixing can make your muffins tough.

3. Add the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter. This is where the magic starts to happen!

4. Fill the Muffin Cups
Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, just enough to cover the bottom. Then, add a dollop of Nutella to the center of each cup. Top with more batter, making sure the Nutella is completely enclosed.

5. Bake to Perfection
Pop the muffins into the oven and bake until they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the muffin part (not the Nutella center) comes out clean. The smell alone will have you counting down the minutes!

6. Cool and Enjoy
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Resist the urge to dive in right away—that Nutella center is molten lava hot!

Pro Tips

• Use a piping bag or small spoon to add the Nutella for precise, mess-free filling.
• Don’t overfill the muffin cups—aim for about ¾ full to avoid overflow.
• For extra chocolatey goodness, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top before baking.
• Room temperature ingredients (like eggs and milk) ensure a smoother batter.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore that gooey center.
• Freezer: Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven.
