Nutella Pumpkin Muffins

Nutella Pumpkin Muffins

What better way to welcome autumn than with some scrumptious Nutella pumpkin muffins! These sweet, decadent muffins are made with creamy pumpkin puree and seasoned with a hint of pumpkin pie spice, and of course flavoured with creamy, nutty Nutella.

This toddler-friendly recipe is a variation of Pumpkin Spice Muffin Bites. It’s a little more indulgent but still relatively healthy since I substituted the butter with coconut oil (read more about my obsession with coconut oil HERE). In the original recipe I substituted the eggs with ground flax seed (my son was still under a year old when I created the recipe) so there is always that option if you prefer an egg-free version. These muffins were a hit! My husband (my biggest critic) isn’t fond of pumpkin-inspired recipes but since the pumpkin puree was combined with the Nutella (a childhood fave) he couldn’t resist…and neither could my son! Someone was scouring the kitchen floor for some batter that dripped off mama’s spoon!

I know they looked delicious, but I didn’t think they would be fighting over them! My son looks very determined…my bets are on him!

Ingredients
    1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla
Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
With a hand or stand mixer whisk eggs for about 2 minutes or until light and frothy. Add the sugar, vanilla, pumpkin puree, and coconut oil. Whisk all the wet ingredients again until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together then slowly add to the dry ingredients and beat until combined.

Spray muffin liners with cooking spray and fill each about 3/4 from the top with batter. Scoop 1/2 tsp. of Nutella onto each muffin. Heat the Nutella in the microwave for 10-15 seconds then dollop 1/2 teaspoon onto each muffin. Using a toothpick, swirl the Nutella into the muffin mix.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Set aside and allow to cool before removing from the muffin tin. Store in an airtight container or plastic zip-lock bag for up to one week or store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
