The Best Chocolate Pumpkin Muffins
At our house, it’s all things apple and pumpkin right now. From indulgent Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars to Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting. And our latest obsession – Nutella Pumpkin Muffins!
Ready in about 30 minutes, these easy chocolate pumpkin muffins are the perfect sweet treat! They are easy to prepare and made with pantry staple ingredients.
Ingredients & Variations
PUMPKIN Pumpkin and cinnamon are the perfect combinations, just like a classic pumpkin pie! Try making a homemade pumpkin puree or using canned pumpkin puree for a moist and delicious muffin.
You can also replace the cinnamon and nutmeg in this recipe with pumpkin pie spice for a warm and belly-warming flavor.
NUTELLA Swirling Nutella throughout the cupcake is the perfect way to ensure a chocolatey sweet treat in every bite!
You can also replace the Nutella with chocolate chips, or melted chocolate. Or add in both for an extra chocolatey flavor.
How to Make Pumpkin Muffins {with Nutella!}
For these muffins, I’ve taken my very favorite pumpkin bread recipe, made a few minor tweaks, and added some Nutella.
- Prep the batter and melt the Nutella.
- Layer and swirl the batter and Nutella (per recipe below).
- Bake until cooked through and enjoy!
Now for the hard part… letting these yummy muffins cool before diving straight in!
Tips for Success
To get extra height on these muffins you bake them at a high temperature for 5 minutes and then lowered it to the standard 350°F for 15 minutes or until done. Voila! Perfectly moist, rounded top muffins that are simply irresistible.
For moist muffins, be careful not to overcook! Use a toothpick to poke the center of the muffin. When it comes out clean, remove the muffins from the oven.
To make chocolate swirls, melt the Nutella before layering it through the muffin batter so that it is easier to swirl through. Use a toothpick to create swirls through the batter and don’t overmix or over-swirl the Nutella as this will create a dark chocolate pumpkin muffin instead of beautiful swirls!
These Nutella Pumpkin Muffins are great for breakfast, brunch, snack… you’re going want to eat them all the time! Enjoy!
