Hellooo muffin of my dreams! A surprise chocolate center surrounded by a medium loose crumb flavors with spices to welcome in Fall…or a Monday!
These are the same recipe as my Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins but with a hazelnut spread center. I am a huge fan of this cocoa spread and even more so a fan when it is stuffed in the most made muffin on this blog!
Looks like a lot of ingredients but it really is just the spices that take up the most times, HA! You will fall in love with these, even my Nutella haters loved them.
I spray my pan rather than line my pan and use an off set spatula to help lift these muffin out. A knife works as well or if you want to opt of out cleaning, use muffin lines. Spray them before you add your fillings!
Happy baking!
