Nutella Muffins


Oh my goodness, Nutella Muffins are heavenly. Yes, really! I have a confession to make. I’ve never tasted anything with Nutella before this. Never even tried it. Not once.
 Quite frankly, I wondered what all the fuss was about. Now I know. Chocolate and hazelnuts in a rich, decadent nut butter. Yes, please! Nutella Muffins are not simply heavenly, you will not be able to stop eating them once you start!

RECIPE NOTES

NOTE: I did not measure the Nutella with a tablespoon. I dolloped in on so I may have used more than one tablespoon on each muffin.
NOTE: While I used two cups flour, you may find 1 3/4 cup provides a less dense muffin.
