What You'll Need
To be honest, these Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Muffins practically make themselves. Have two large bowls at the ready. One for dry ingredients, the other for wet ingredients. Fold the wet into the dry, and whammo! You'll have a perfectly imperfect, thick lumpy batter kinda like when making good old-fashioned, country-style pancakes.
Assembling
Once you have that perfectly, imperfect batter ready to go, grab an ice cream scoop or spoon of choice to divide half of the batter among a standard muffin pan. Then I used a small melon scoop to dollop Nutella in the middle of each muffin cup.
With the Nutella safely nestled in each cup, grab that ice cream scoop again to top the muffins off with more batter. To make them extra special, sprinkle on extra chocolate chips and brown sugar for perfectly coated muffin tops.
You'll love the aroma wafting through the house as these beauties bake. And, they'll certainly lure the kids out of bed, even teenagers. Happy baking! xx, Kim

Muffins aren't my favourite baked dessert; however, normally I cannot say "no" to a blueberry one. But with the addition of nutella? Oh yeah, I'm totally in! Delicious!
