The Best Nutella Muffins - Chocolate Breakfast

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Prepare muffin pan or line a 6 cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Set aside.

Making muffins: In a plastic or glass bowl add flour, cocoa, brown sugar and baking soda. Mix all ingredients with spoon and set aside.

Using your mixing bowl add milk, egg and MELTED butter.

Mix quickly until combined. (just for a minute or two). Don't over mix, muffins don't like it.

Then add dry ingredients into milk egg mixture and mix until combined.

For this step or when mixing dry and wet ingredients you don't need to use the mixer.

Just use your spoon to combine all ingredients.

Again, don't mix too much. Just be sure the floor mixture is combined with milk/egg mixture.

Then bring your prepared muffin pan and complete the following steps

Spoon 1 TBSP of batter into the muffin cup.

Then add 1 TBSP of Nutella (or less if you are on crazy diet. 1/2 TBSP is also OK) and the center.

Cover the Nutella with more batter. (I used about 2oz of batter for each muffin cup)

Repeat layering batter and Nutella for another 5 muffin cups.

Bake at 375 F for 19 to 20 minutes or until the batter is set.

Remove from oven and cool.

When muffins are cool you can add the topping. (if you want to)

Cover the top of each muffin with 1/2 TBSP of Nutella and chopped hazelnuts.

Enjoy and share with your whole family and friends.
