Strawberry Nutella Muffins
I am still on my strawberry kick. If we run out it it is a very sad day so we try to keep our refrigerator stocked with strawberries at all times. I used some of my precious strawberries to create Strawberry Nutella Muffins. Last year, I made Pumpkin Nutella Bread and fell in love, so I thought I would try adding Nutella to my strawberry muffins. These muffins are out of this world. There really are no words to describe their deliciousness.
Strawberries and Nutella are a match made in heaven. I may have dipped a few strawberries in the Nutella jar while making these muffins. I needed a pre-muffin snack. Don’t judge-I am pregnant:)
I chopped up fresh strawberries and gently folded them into my muffin batter. I filled half of the muffin cups with strawberry batter and then added a spoonful of Nutella. I covered the Nutella with the remaining batter and sprinkled the muffins with turbinado sugar.
I had a hard time taking photos of these muffins. I was too anxious to taste them. Finally, I unwrapped a muffin and took a big bite. Pure joy! These strawberry Nutella muffins are almost too good to be true.
The muffins are tender with juicy strawberry pieces that are surrounded by rich Nutella. I also love the sugary muffin tops. They are pretty and add a nice sweet crunch.
So, should you make these muffins for breakfast or dessert? It’s up to you. I think they are good anytime of the day. Just promise me you will make these Strawberry Nutella Muffins. They are too good not to share!

Strawberry Nutella muffins made with fresh strawberries and filled with Nutella. These muffins are great for breakfast or dessert.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling on top of muffinsDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well. Set aside.

3. In a small bowl, combine canola oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla together. Use a fork or whisk and mix until well combined.

Baking while pregnant always requires a snack! These look yummy- love how the nutella is spread throughout the inside- like a fun surprise!
my jaw just dropped…i MUST go to costco and get the gallon-sized Nutella immediately!
Looks amazing! What a great combination
I already love chocolate covered strawberries so how could this be any different?! They look delicious!
Oh my, what a fun and unique combination! These look heavenly!
Fantastic combination of two delectable foods! Organic ripe strawberries are just starting to show up in our Boston-area markets, so these muffins are definitely on my “to-make” list.
I love that there is a huge layer of nutella just waiting to be bitten into in the middle
Delicious, perfect combination!!
I’ve been eating Nutella and strawberries and it’s a wonderful combination. Your muffins are gorgeous and thanks for the link! You made my day.
What a perfect combination! YUM!
I’m sure I’d love these too! They sound heavenly!
wow. You’re right. These things are too good not to share. I gotta go hunt for strawberries this weekend and make them right away! Is it ok to decrease the sugar a little bit because of the nutella?
They are just superb!!! Strawberry and Nutella are the perfect combo. I’ll be never thankful enough to Mr Ferrero for inventing Nutella. Thanks for this one, guys!
Goodness gracious…I’m drooling just looking at the pictures!
dipping anything into the nutella jar is fun – especially berries and pretzels
These look great!
You know, strawberries are really good for you. Does that make these muffins healthy? Let’s go with that!
Fabulous idea!! These look amazing.
I MUST make these now!
Yum! Love that these use oil and buttermilk, so they’re healthy for breakfast
Small typo: turbinado sugar for sprinkliing <–two i's
P.S. I have another book rec for you: The Dirty Life: A memoir of farming, food and love. I'm only 55 pages thru but I already love it and think you would too

Fixed it! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for the book rec!
Looks delicious, plese send me one to my breakfast
What a great combination of flavors! These look delicious!
Is there any fruit that nutellas don’t make taste better? I think you’d be hard put to find one. These look delicious!
These sound so lovely. I’m definitely going to try these soon!
What a combination. Beautiful and I’m sure tasty!
I always keep my freezer stocked with Strawbs, so I’m gonna have to make these!
These look absolutely amazing!! And don’t worry – I never judge a pregnant woman!
I bet those are so delicious!
These look so good!
I made your pumpkin nutella bread- SO GOOD. I was actually getting on here to ask you for a good strawberry shortcake. I think this would be fabulous since Strawberries are in season and they have taken over my fridge. YUM! Thanks for sharing.
I’d thought about putting Nutella in the middle of cupcakes but I was a bit worried that I would just get a big chocolatey mess – there are worse things in life I suppose
I’ll definitely give it a try now!
Yummy flavors for a muffin! OH this is such a delicious idea!
When I was pregnant I ate a whole jar of Nutella – in one sitting! Now our baby girl is a Nutella-holic…we have to hide it from her.
Maria, These look wonderful!
Amazing, amazing, amazing. I love strawberries too and hate when they run out. I am also a huge Nutella lover. Match made in heaven!
OMG! I just whipped up a batch of these for my girls and I. We all LOVED them and your description of them being “pure joy” was spot on!
Thanks for sharing this fantastic recipe.

Thanks for letting us know! Glad you liked the muffins!
Nutella on anything is ok with me!!
I always have a jar of Nutella in the pantry yet I don’t use it in my baking. I find myself standing at the counter just eating it by the spoonful. Oh, how much I love Nutella. I need to give it a chance to branch out!
I was the same way when I was pregnant – couldn’t get enough strawberries – I would walk to the store and buy 2 containers so I could eat one on the way home!
Love the combo of strawberry and nutella – mmmm, have to pick up more nutella!
Oh, wow! Those look incredibly delicious!!! Especially that last picture. One time I made up a strawberry Nutella tiramisu (well, minus the coffee) and I couldn’t believe it when my husband questioned if strawberries and Nutella would go together! Seriously?? Ha! He later admitted I was right.
I’m pretty sure he’d be O.K. with these muffins, too. =)
Maria, you are the strawberry QUEEN! I love the combination of nutella and berries!
