A soft and moist peanut butter muffin with swirls of Nutella. Peanut Butter Nutella Muffins are what muffin heaven looks like!
Oh yeah. You know you are drooling. Peanut butter muffins with Nutella swirled throughout. It is like heaven in your mouth. Can this seriously be a breakfast? They are so incredibly good straight from the oven. Make them when you have a few people home, preferably a number divisible by 12 so there isn’t any fighting, and watch them disappear. It’s like magic.

Author: Rachel Farnsworth
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 12 spoonfulls Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray, or put in muffin liners.
- Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir.
- Add in yogurt, buttermilk, eggs, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir until everything is mixed in.
- Divide thick batter among the 12 muffin spots. They'll be about ⅔ full.
- Place 1 tablespoon of Nutella on top of each. Use a toothpick to swirl the Nutella around. Make sure you do it all the way to the bottom so there is Nutella throughout.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes.
- Devour.
COOKING LESSON
It can be a pain to measure sticky ingredients like peanut butter. A handy trick is to first spray the measuring cup with nonstick spray, that way your sticky ingredient is less likely so stick and will slide out much easier.

If you like peanut butter and chocolate, these are yum. Also try putting a small reses bite in the center of each. Oh my goodness. delicious!!

I followed the recipe exact, only using "soured" milk instead of buttermilk. Baked at 350*, these muffins were done at exactly 20 minutes. Muffin perfection–the family RAVED about these. Excellent recipe!

RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN! OH THE HUMANITY!
I killed this recipe nearly every way possible (ie half whole wheat, using 1 c. milk + white vinegar, no yogurt, etc.) and I STILL NEARLY ATE THE WHOLE DANGED BATCH!
Seriously, if I didn't ruin these, nobody can. 7 alien thumbs up…or in other words, out of this world.
One tip, don't be afraid to use AT LEAST a TBS of Nutella per muffin and SWIRL it really, really good. It'll pay off.
Great goodness…I don't know to thank you or…I don't know…I'll just be wallowing in my gorged state over here…thank you so much…oy vey…

Fantastic recipe! Used wholemeal flour & soured milk (as didnt have any buttermilk) and turned out just as awesome. I need to make another batch, stat!

Can I use light cream instead of the buttermilk? That's the only thing I'm missing and I really don't wanna go to the supermarket again just for that 🙁
Rachel Farnsworth says
Instead of buttermilk you can substitute regular milk plain, or create your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to a cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minute. I would not recommend substituting light cream. It is too heavy for a muffin.
