Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 22 minutes
Servings 6 jumbo sized muffins

Equipment

  • Muffin tin/muffin liners
  • Stand/handheld mixer

Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter room temperature
  • cup (133 grams) brown sugar
  • cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (180 grams) plain greek yogurt room temperature
  • 2 cups (250 grams) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (90 grams) chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (160 grams) nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin pan (either jumbo or regular) with muffin liners. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or using a handheld mixer, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until lighter in color and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes, scraping down the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract and yogurt and mix on low speed until combined. It won't completely come together, but that is okay.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix on low speed until a batter forms. Add the chocolate chips and fold together until combined. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling it up ¾ of the way to almost full.
  • Microwave the Nutella for 20 seconds just so it loosens up a bit, then dollop a spoonful of the Nutella on top of each muffin. Using a knife or toothpick, swirl the Nutella into the muffin batter.
  • Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit, then without opening the oven door, decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the muffins for an additional 17-19 minutes if baking jumbo muffins, or 11-12 minutes if making regular-sized muffins. A toothpick inserted into the center of the muffins will come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin, then remove them onto a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Enjoy!
