Raise your glasses, Muffin Monday completes a year today! A toast then, to our magical Monday mornings; here’s to the year gone by and to the one ahead.
What an incredible journey it has been. 52 weeks, 52 unique muffins. Rain or shine, every Monday we baked together and realized delicious recipes, all without missing a beat. On more than one occasion I cut it close, a voice in my head whispering that I’m not going to manage it this Monday, but then 51 muffins out of 52 weeks would be entirely missing the point, wouldn’t it?
So what does Year 2 hold for us? We welcome suggestions from readers to help shape the road ahead for Muffin Monday. In the meanwhile there is a surprise towards the end of the post. Read on.
What recipe does one pick for such a moment? Is there such a thing as a celebratory muffin? Oh yes, indeed.
One of my all time favorite muffin variation is the doughnut muffin. Why? Well for starters it’s dunked in butter and rolled in cinnamon sugar. Enough said, really but I still wanted to take this experience to another level and that is exactly what this recipe does. I present to you a Doughnut Muffin with a luscious Nutella swirl. I popped one in my mouth the moment my first batch was out the oven and when I bit into it, the heavenly taste of Nutella exploded on my palette.
And the best part? No butter and very little oil. Yes, we have a winner!
The batter is not tough and dry, instead it’s runny and comes together easily. I recommend giving the nutella a 10-20 second whiz in the microwave to get it to spreadable consistency.
Over to the recipe: Doughnuts + Nutella with a morning cuppa. The ultimate way to kick start your week.
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1½ cups + 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking power
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- About ⅓ cup nutella
- 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 nutmeg. Mix until combined.
- Add in the vegetable oil, milk and vanilla extract.
- Fill each mini muffin cup about ⅔ full with batter. Add a dollop of nutella to each muffin 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

Happy 1st bday Muffin Monday! I feel so proud to be (at least occasionally) a part of the Muffin Monday gang – and I have learned a lot about baking through the weekly baking challenges:) Keep it up Anu and co. and here’s to many many more years of muffin making:) ps: Nutella swirl? oh my….weak in my knees….
Thanks Elena! SO glad you’re a part of Muffin Monday! Even if its the occasional, we love that you and Ogi bake with us.
I just stumbled onto this through “zite”, and I’ve ended up reading EVERYTHING! I love this and I’m going to start making these cupcakes pronto!
As for that amazing food processor :O …
I would make an ITALIAN feast from scratch. With it, I would make my own pesto, grind up fresh herbs, even shred some cheese…. It would do everything my poor old weak hands have trouble doing.
Thanks again for the recipe!
Thanks Neeyaz! :)
What a great giveaway! And I love the swirls on these muffins-Nutella anything is always a winner :)
Delicious swirl of flavor here! I can always count on something delicious when I come here and these muffins are just that. Saving this winner of a recipe.
Also, good luck to the entrants on your sweet giveaway-I am sure the lucky winner will get great use out of this!
Wow!! Happy Anniversary, to all of us! but especially you, our leader ;) Thanks for all the great recipes and inspiration. I love being a part of Muffin Monday and look forward to another great year. Oh and the first thing I would make with this nifty gadget would be, salsa. It’s one of my favorite backyard BBQ concoctions and this sounds like just the machine to help me get it done.
Thanks Kate! Here’s to another delicious year! :)
Congratulations on your one year!! Great way of celebrating this mile stone. This muffin looks very pretty and I can’t want to give it a try!
Thanks Lilly! :)
Congratulations on your anniversary! What a great giveaway. If I won it I would make pizza using it to make the dough, slice the veggies, and grate the cheese.
Oh, and my mouth was watering when I was reading about the muffins. Oh my they sound delish!
That’s the optimum use of Magimix! Thanks Renee! :)

Congrats to you and yes to these muffins with butter but maybe I will reduce the amount of nutella. I as usual or you may call me strange, can only digest very little of anything with choc flavor.
I have had my eye on this machine for awhile…it’s amazing & I’d make cookie dough in it first!
