Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C
  • Grease the muffin cups or line the muffin tray with muffin liners.

  • Spoon 1 Tablespoon of batter into each muffin cavity. Top it with 1 teaspoon Nutella in the center and spoon another tablespoon of batter on top of the Nutella.

Notes

The recipe can be doubled. Extra muffins can be frozen for later. Muffins freeze well for 2-3 months. Store them in a freezer-safe container. 
Instead of all-purpose flour, you may use whole wheat flour or half whole wheat flour/half all-purpose flour.
Baking Powder is the only leavening agent used in this recipe. It is important to use fresh baking powder for the best results. 
I have used 1/2 cup sugar since Nutella is already too sweet. If you are using something not so sweet in place of Nutella, you can add 3/4 cup sugar.
