If you love fluffy, moist chocolate chip muffins, these are for you and to take them even higher, they are centred with Nutella. You are going to know how to make them and they are going to whip up in a snap. Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and that is what will make these muffins have that dome shape on top. In a bowl, you will sift all-purpose flour together with a teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of baking powder for leavening.
Once sifted, give the dry ingredients a quick mix then set aside. For the wet ingredients, everything should be at room temparature so add whole milk to a bowl then add melted unsalted butter, and sugar then whisks that together then add two large eggs and sour cream. If you don’t have sour cream you can use full-fat plain yoghurt.
Add a tablespoon of vanilla extract then whisk until you get a nice homogenous mixture. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients and whisk until just almost combined then add chcolate chips of milk chocolate then fold everything in with a spatula. In a cupcake baking tin, line them with muffin papers then pour the batter quarter-way through the liners then take the frozen Nutella from the fridge, coat them with flour just to prevent them from sticking to the bottom then add the rest of the batter to the three-quarters way full.
Top them with more chocolate chips then place in a 425 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes. These muffins are soft all over and simply delicious, full of chcolate chips with the sweetness of Nutella.
