Moist and fluffy cinnamom muffins stuffed with ooey gooey Nutella in the centre and topped with some more Nutella to finish off. This one is a must try for all Nutella fans out there.
Ever had a muffin and thought “Will I ever be able to top this?” .. I think that..all the time.. and not just with muffins but with almost everything I make #FoodBloggerProblems! The thing with us food/recipe bloggers is that we’re always uncertain whether we’ll find something better to make (or is it just me?) buuuttt surprisingly..we always do! When I made these Chocolate Swirl Banana Muffins and these Cheese and Jalapeno muffins, I was convinced I will never come up something that be even remotely as delicious as them but my Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Muffins have done it. They’re the moistest, fluffiest muffins you’ll ever eat and they also come with a hidden surprise in the centre…a dollop of Nutella!
These Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Muffins are a must try for all Nutella lovers out there..I didn’t just stuff them with it but also drizzled some over the top. It’s a dream come true..yes they’re indulgent but you may have figured out by now that I don’t give a damn about calories. I’m just thinking of ways to adapt these now..what else can I stuff muffins with!? Jam? Chocolate? Marshamallow 😮 Throw some ideas at me guys!
Anyhow..please make sure that you bake these for 20 minutes and not more..baking timing is the most crucial thing for any cake recipe..a few minutes over and you’ll have a hard rock in the name of muffin. So keep checking! And yes..no peeking and opening the oven door for the first 15 minutes atleast.
- • Flour, 200 Grams
- • Baking Powder, 1 Teaspoon
- • Cinnamon Powder, ½ Teaspoon
- • Salt, ½ Teaspoon
- • Butter, 50 Grams
- • Sugar, 110 Grams
- • Egg, 1 or Yogurt, 3 Tablespoons
- • Vanilla Essence, 1 Teaspoon
- • Milk, 120 Ml
- • Nutella, 9 Teaspoons
- Grease your muffin pan with a little bit of oil or melted butter, set aside.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon powder and keep aside to be used later.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add in the egg or yogurt and whisk lightly until completely incorporated. Make sure you don’t whisk too much, if too much air is incorporated in the batter the muffins will sink after baking, so be careful!
- Add in the vanilla essence and milk. Mix everything until you no longer see dry flour.
- Preheat your oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
- Fill muffin cups until half full. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella in the centre and fill the muffin cups till the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.

Thank you Elaine! So you’re making them, are you? 🙂
I did make them!!!! And my son ate the whole lot before my husband even got to try one!!!!
Yayyyie! So glad he loved them! When a kid loves your recipe that means its actually good, right? Thank you so much for making these and sharing your experience! 🙂
It means it’s fab! Kids are horribly honest!!
Hahah they are, aren’t they? That trait can be highly rewarding or extremely embarrassing ! 😀
Oh yes!!!
Mine turned out extremely dry and cracked on the top 🙁 please advise.
Hi Tuhina! I think you overbaked them or baked them at a higher temp. Try reducing the baking time by 5 minutes. Let me know how they turn out. 🙂
hi radhika, so instead of making the brownie i made these muffins! At first, i was like cinnamon? nah! but then i was like okay ill give it shot. i was like really shocked because i thought that it’ll have a very strong flavor but instead it had a very delicate flavor that’s what i think. i also think that a person who doesn’t like cinnamon ( me) cant have this without nutella. that’s a very clever combination! one more thing, even my muffins had cracks but that didn’t bother me that much because i think it gives it a homemade kinda look! plus, i covered the crack by making a heart instead of lines on each muffin! yet again, an amazing recipe! thank you so much! 😀
Thank you so so much Nishita! All your comments make me really happy’! Thank you for the lovely words and trying out my recipes! PS if you love this, try blueberry and cinnamon muffins too. They’re one of my fav! 🙂
haha and your recipes make me really happy! i so want to try that but i just can’t find blueberries in Mumbai. so is there any other fruit i can use instead of blueberry? plus, my mother will throw me out of the house if i even think about 🙁 because she wants me to study as i have my exams in Feb x_x but seriously, i don’t mind baking at night also! let me know if i can use any other fruit..
Sure you can! Use strawberries! They’re in season now.. 🙂
