If you’ve been tracking the #MuffinMonday recipes, you’ll surely recall the Nutella Swirl Doughnut Muffins I made a few months ago. Well, I realized that my Muffin Monday bakers never got a chance to try that recipe, since it was an anniversary post and it was too good to not share with them. So this week, my fellow bakers get to try it, while I attempt another variation of it.
Nutella swirl is a hard one to match up to. It really is. Especially when you’re dealing with Nutellaholics. Try telling them, you replaced nutella with jam or a fruit compote. My variation was to use a biscoff spread as a swirl and what do you know? It faired incredibly well.
I made one major change, instead of adding dollops of biscoff to the muffins, I divided the batter to give it a marble effect, this ensured a uniform biscoff-y taste with every bite of the muffin. I recommend baking this at a lower temperature for a longer period if you plan to divide the batters, mainly so that it doesn’t get charred on the biscoff parts.
The caramel-y and spicy taste of speculoos cookies, a little spicy, a little sweet: the perfect treat this Monday morning.
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking power
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon (or nutmeg)
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- About ⅓ cup biscoff spread (microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds so it is of spreadable consistency.)
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and egg until combined. Add in flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon (or nutmeg, depends on what you’re using). Mix until combined.
- Add in the vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract.
- Divide the batters and add biscoff spread and gently mix until combined.
- Using a scoop from each batter, fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full with batter and swirl it around a few times with a toothpick or a knife.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Cool muffins on a wire rack before serving
Muffin Monday: Round Up
Happy Baking!
These look absolutely heavenly! I hope we get to try this next!
Oh my, that Biscoff swirl is heaven!
I can’t wait till I can get my hands on some Biscoff. These look amazing!
Oh yea! Bring on the Biscoff!! Yummy
You know I never had or used a biscoff spread?! I have no clue what it is and in recent months saw few posts about it. This muffin looks as spectacular as all your muffins as usual. Happy to be back into the groove of things.
OOOoooooh BISCOFF SWIRL! YESSSSS
Ohhh your muffin sounds fantastic!!! Yummy, yummy!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely scrumptious! I have a bottle of the spread in my pantry, and I’ve been collecting recipes to use it, so yours go into my folder right away… haven’t been able to bake much lately, but the time will come! ;-)
I love that you used biscoff in your recipe. I love biscoff! They look amazing, and I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for inviting me to #MuffinMonday!
I like the look the swirl gives to the muffin, that marble effect is wonderful.
Oh YUM! I’m so hungry reading this! They look amazing! :) I LOVE Nutella – so delish! I’m totally pinning this! Hope you’ll come visit me at jugglingactmama.blogspot.com
Happy Monday!
Gotta get around to trying that biscoff … Great Job & Happy Monday :-)
These look so amazing!
I absolutely love Biscoff spread. Better than the cookie itself, I think. I’ve made dough balls and granola with it, but never a baked good. This need to be rectified.
I wish I had started my Monday morning with this beauty. Looks awesome.
Yummm, I must have Biscoff in my life.
I have not tried Biscoff yet. I need to get on that. These look delicious :)
I adore Biscoff maybe as much as Nutella. Or maybe I adore Nutella more? It depends on my mood. These muffins look fantastic and I love the pretty swirl!:)
What delicious and pretty swirls!
oh god these look like a super delicious way to start the day!
Looks fantstic! I just love the flavors nd they looks so moist. Delicious!
That’s it biscoff is a must find because these muffins are a must eat :D

This muffin is making me hungry!! I have got to get my hands on some biscoff! :)
oh my this looks heavenly. i love biscoff spread, i bought one from trader joe’s – speculoos. good stuff. i’m gonna try this out.
i don’t know if I would be able to pick between the Nutella or the Biscoff. I think I would have to sample both. This one looks just as dreamy as the Nutella Swirl. Lovely!
OK, I have got to find some of the Biscoff spread that everyone has been raving about! These muffins look delicious, as always–love the swirl on top.
Absolutely gorgeous…This is a must try :)
Hugs <3

HOLY CATS!!! This muffin would not last for two minutes in our house:-) They look fantastic! Hugs, Terra
Beautiful swirl~~~! I really need to taste biscoff – I heard it’s better than Nutella. I MUST TRY!
Mmmhhh, fantastic! I love that spread and your muffins look just so pretty as well as tempting.
Cheers,

Cinnamon added? yes, I have to agree that it creates a little bit of spicy and blending well with the sweet touch. Another superb swirl recipe.
I can’t resist a Biscoff muffin, I would love to have one with more Biscoff spreaded on top :)

That marble effect is really gorgeous! :D
I have never had Biscoff….these muffins look awesome!
The plump and cute muffins are looking so yum! You are too fast with your posts An, finding it difficult to match your pace..need to check out other bakes of yours.
I had to Google “biscoff spread” – lol!! It sounds like a delicious treat! I feel an Amazon order in my near future :-)
These muffins are beautiful and I can tell they taste amazing just like nutella muffins.
Looks scrumptious and I definitely need to try biscoff. Fabulous!!
Biscoff in muffin form? WOW! I’m sure going to bake a batch and the next time I’m on a plane and they offer me some biscoff cookies, I’ll show them these muffins instead! What a creative combination!
made these yesterday and they are light and tasty. I had to bake mine more than the 12-15 minutes and it called for 1/4 tsp cinnamon but in the instructions it said to add the nutmeg. I added the nutmeg since the Biscoff has cinnamon in it Was nutmeg correct to use?
Thanks Maurita. So glad to know they turned out well for you! The original recipe calls for nutmeg so that was a good call. I love cinnamon and so the extra bit didn’t matter to me. I’ve made the changes in the recipe. Thanks! :)
I’ll take a dozen ;)
