More helpful tips for you.

1. When the dry and wet ingredients are mixed together to make these muffins, mix the ingredients until just combined
   This will help keep the texture of the muffins fluffy.
2. The nutella is 'swirled' in the muffins. Allowing your Chocolate Hazelnut Spread to soften to room temperature can help make it easier to work with.
3. I like to use a cookie scoop to scoop the muffin batter into the muffin cups. This also makes it easier to evenly divide the batter between the muffin liners.
4. For added flavor, you can add a tablespoon of batter to each of the muffin cups and then a dollop of the Chocolate Hazelnut Spread before filling the cups with the remaining batter.
5. To add texture to your muffins, you can fold chopped nuts, such as walnuts, into your batter before filling the muffin cups.
6. These muffins are baked through if they can spring back when lightly touched in the center. Alternatively, you can use the toothpick test however, the softened spread may give you a false result.

5. Transfer. Use a cookie scoop or similar item to scoop the batter into your prepared muffin cups, filling them about three quarters of the way full.
6. Spread. Use a tablespoon to place dollops of the Chocolate Hazelnut Spread on top of each of the muffins. Then use a toothpick, or similar item, to swirl the spread throughout the muffins, without over-mixing the muffins.
7. Bake. Bake your muffins for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are firm and begin to brown.
8. Cool. Let your muffins sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to cooling rack to fully cool.
