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

Congrats on 1 year. What an accomplishment! What a way to celebrate with these fabulous muffins. I love anything with nutella. Killer giveaway as well. I think I would make some fresh salsa as my first creation if I had it. :)

omygosh you had me at Nutella! Doughnut muffins are one of my favorites too, I just discovered them this year and they’re a staple now in my recipe book! These seriously look incredible!!
MMMM Love Nutella! Love muffins!!
I totally need this! I’ve only ever had a mini cuisinart food processor and it just died on me :( first thing I would do is grind up nuts and make a meal to use as an alternate flour for baking muffins :)

Would use this to make home made hummus.
I’ll make pizza dough.
Congratulations on 52 weeks of incredible muffins!! Your recipes are always exciting and pictures gorgeous.
Love the recipes you provide. I think I will stop dreaming of these recipes and start with making one. The Tiramisu bread would be my first and a simple task with this processor. then its me, the machine, raw ingredients, recipes and creativity from there. I hope the machine can take all that. ;-)
love all the stuff you make..but my personal favorite is the blueberry almond pound cake..can eat it every single day of my life..
Hey this looks delis, as do a lot of your recipes! I am particularly interested in making Brioche at home! We have recently been into making french toast with Brioche and your recipe looks wonderful. Thanks for offering the giveaway. That looks like amen processor! Cheers.
can’t wait to win my Magimix by Robot-Coupe to bake my favorite blueberry pound cake..
so yum!!
The first thing i would make is gluten free almond flour so i can bake cookies for my family
Though the muffins sound so good, the first thing would be a pie crust to make a strawberry rhubarb pie.
I like bakers street and Magimix on Facebook

I would make so much stuff but the main thing is probably better nut butters.
Yum! Yum! Yum! Nutella Muffy’s and Tiramisu bread!!! I can’t decide which one I want to try first!! Thanks for sharing<3

If you ever took notice to my posts with pictures of my food processor, you’d see it holds about 2 cups max! lol!
That’s why I take EXTREME close up shots of it. (and yes, size DOES matter)
First thing I’d make is pesto!

i like the idea of the nutella drop swirl, however, using vegetable oil has never been my best option…. besides, vegetable oil is processed oil, its not suppose to be good for our health. i used oil likes; grapeseed, macadamia, olive & any other non processed oil, alternatively i used the best butter you could find on the chilled shelf, and i always subsitute butter milk, yogurt and sour cream, instead of full fat/cream milk….
The idea of home cooking and sometime bake for friends, apart from healthy leaving, we should use the good quality ingredients.
some may not agree with me, well, just for sharing…:)
Thanks for sharing. You could easily use olive oil in this recipe too. I like use nut oils too and the flavor it adds to the finished product. In fact my favorite one is hazelnut oil. Have you tried that?
oops!! typo error…. suppose to be healthy living….;)

Hi, these look wonderful! Am such a fan of Nutella, am gonna make this the number one on my to-bake list! I’ve got a question though, is it possible to leave out nutmeg?
Cheers!
