Making Nutella Chocolate Chips – So easy and so amazing!

What really sets this recipe apart are these Nutella Chocolate Chips. They’re really quick to make, and take this muffin to a whole new level. Let’s make ’em!

Start with 1/2 Cup of chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate) and 1 Tbsp butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Be sure to stir every 30 seconds.

Once melted, stir in 1/2 Cup of Nutella. (I love this part, and have perhaps licked the spoon.)

On a small cookie sheet or cake pan lined with parchment paper, spread your Nutella mixture into a thin layer. About 1/4 inch.

Pop it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Once frozen, remove from the freezer and peel off the parchment. Chop into chunks. Place back in the freezer until ready to use!

Nutella doesn’t harden on its own, so keeping it in the freezer is necessary. I usually double this recipe and snack on these babies every time I need a chocolate treat. Such a fantastic blend of chocolate and hazelnut flavor.

To make these chocolate muffins, simply…

First, make sure your Nutella chocolate chips are ready to go. See above for those instructions.

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line your muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick baking spray (this stuff from Williams Sonoma is the BEST).

In a large bowl, combine oil, milk, eggs, vanilla extract and yogurt (or sour cream).

In a separate medium-sized bowl combine dry ingredients; flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, very gently combine until no more streaks of flour remain.

Gently add the Nutella chocolate chips and chopped raspberries.

Using a large scoop, like this one, fill each muffin about 2/3 full.

Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. This helps push your muffins up so you get a great rise (you can do this with every muffin recipe). Then reduce heat to 375°F and continue baking for 9-12 minutes until fully baked and bounces back.

Best Tools for Perfect Muffins Every Time

I recently added a few tools to my kitchen and I’m loving them! One are these awesome muffin and cupcake liners. This pack comes with 100 dark brown and 100 tan liners. It’s a great deal, and I love that they don’t pull any of the muffin away, I don’t need any non-stick spray, it makes for easy cleanup, AND they keep my muffins fresher longer! So many benefits!

My other new muffin tool is this awesome 3 Tbsp scoop by OXO. This keeps my muffins uniform in size and makes it really easy to scoop them into these liners. I love tools that save me time and extra clean-up! These 2 are a winners for sure!
