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

When I win the robo coupe food processor, the very first thing I will make will be homemade Nutella!
An, you never cease to amaze me with your amazing muffin recipes. I’d say that this donut muffin is, indeed, the perfect muffin to celebrate with. Put nutella in anything, and it becomes my favorite thing to eat. Hmm, what would I make in this beautiful piece of kitchen gadgetry? Probably some form of dough for crusty bread or buttery biscuits. Happy 1 year muffin anniversary, my friend.
Congrats on 1 year! That’s actually pretty amazing. Also amazing is this recipe. I mean, every single word in the title makes me want to eat this! As for the Magimix, I’d probably make my pie dough. I love using a food processor to make it but mine is about to sputter and die!
Its one year of Monday muffins.Congratulations! Now I know where to look for a recipe when I need one. the last one is really a winner. My daughter will jump up and down If I tell her someone posted nutella muffins.
Congratulations on one year and I am happy you are celebrating with Nutella muffins. I would make pesto.
Thanks Emily! :)

These muffins look so scrumptious and delicious. I def have to make these!
You must! Let me know how it turns out. :)
I have loved this muffin series! My mom makes muffins weekly too, but doesn’t switch up the flavors as often. I’ve passed on many of your recipes to her, and I know this one is a must make as well! Donut muffins are a definite favorite and Nutella makes anything better!
I agree. Thanks. You should bake with us soon.
Amazing accomplishment! What a way to end your year of wonderful muffin recipes. These have such a pretty presentation – no one could resist a bite!
The first thing I will make will be my very first cake from scratch!!
Many years ago my first food processor was a robot coupe. I used it the first time to make pizza dough. If I win this one I will make pizza dough.
I would love to use it to make some great pizza dough!

OMG..nutella swirl donut muffins? What a way to celebrate 52 weeks of muffins! My sister brought me these gorgeous muffin and cupcake wrappers..some I’ve seen you use..so that motivates me to ‘muffin’ :) I made some amazing blueberry – macadamia brittle muffins last year..but lost all the photos in a crash along with photos of tons of other stuff I made – some prett laborious – so not sure I’d make those again, or for a long time :( In any event, I’d love to win this Magamix Robot Coupe!
I tweeted ‘and’ follow you on SU! :)
These really look wonderful. And my daughter is a big fan of Nutella. I’ll have to pass the recipe on to her.
These muffins look out of this world delicious!
Three cheers for your dedication and love for this wonderful series Muffin Mondays’..you rock, Anu!
Woah I would LOVE to make some of that muffin! I can eat Nutella out of the jar, that’s how much I love it, and since I don’t have those muffins next to me, I might just go do that right now. :) Too bad I live in Australia so I can’t enter this competition. :(
I’m hungry and I’ll take a (few) of those muffins – please… They look so tasty. Congrats on 52 weeks of sweet baking!
Love that nutella swirl, I can enjoy one of these muffins for breakfast for the rest of my life!
CONGRATS!!!! my fav series, muffins,muffins,muffins!!
Congrats on 52 weeks of sweet goodness! Hummus & pitas first, but these muffins wouldn’t be far behind!
Happy Anniversary to #MuffinMonday! I’ve noticed #MuffinMonday before, but never really got the chance to join.

I’d make pie crust (we currently use food processor for this, but ours is barely big enough – and it’s almost worn out)!
Congratulations! I’ve been craving hummus, so perhaps that would be the recipe to christen the new machine :-).
