As you can tell from my last two posts, we’ve really been enjoying pumpkin this year. 98% of the time we enjoy pumpkin in sweet dishes (hello White Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake!) but hey, we’re still eating a vegetable so it’s all good, right?! As much as I love this Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting, these Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Muffins are getting up there as our favorite fall pumpkin treat. Go get your muffin tin out because you’re going to want to make these ASAP!
You know why I love muffins? Because they are really just cupcakes in disguise. Yeah, you could totally just add frosting to this and serve it at a birthday party and no one would bat an eye about them really being muffins. Why? Because these babies are so dang moist! Pumpkin just has that magical power to make all baked goods so perfectly moist and have a tender crumb. Just try my Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes or Peanut Butter Chocolate Pumpkin Cake and you’ll see.
These scrumptious Nutella Swirl Pumpkin not only come together fast but they will disappear just a quickly. That good, my friends! Seriously, I ate two in less than an hour of them coming out of the oven. I already love pumpkin bread/muffins but add Nutella to the mix and I lose all self-control. Man that stuff is good! Even my two year old knows it.
While swirling the Nutella in she kept begging to lick the bowl. When I was done she made sure to lick the bowl clean! It’s rough having kids! I use to be the one who always got to lick the bowl and spatula but now I have to share.
For these muffins I’ve taken my very favorite pumpkin bread recipe, made a few minor tweaks, and just added some Nutella. After making the batter, you place about 2 tablespoons of batter into the tins and then dolloped with ½ teaspoon Nutella. Swirl it with a toothpick, add the rest of the batter, and add more Nutella on the top and swirl again.
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 degrees for 15 minutes or until done. Voila! Perfectly moist, rounded top muffins that are simply irresistible.
These Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Muffins are great for breakfast, brunch, snacks… you’re going want to eat them ALL the time! Enjoy!
