Nutella & Vanilla-Swirl Muffins



















This was originally supposed to be a cupcakes recipe, but the consistency turned out more like muffins so that's what I'm calling them.  They were soooo dense!  In any case, anything combined with Nutella is automatically yummy so I am considering this not so much of a failure.  I made sure to follow the recipe exactly, but oh well.  Also, normally I know you are not supposed to put additional spread on top of muffins, but I love anything with hazelnut.  Plus, it didn't turn out that sweet.  I have to tweek this recipe for sure next time, maybe add milk so it will be lighter.  I will not give up on you, cupcakes!!

Ingredients
(yields 12 muffins)
10 tbsp of butter, softened
3/4 cup of white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 3/4 cups of sifted flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of baking powder
12 teaspoons of Nutella

Directions
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2) Line 12 regular muffin tins with paper liners.
3) Cream together butter and sugar.
4) Beat eggs one at a time, until fully incorporated.
