This is a revisit of an older recipe that I’ve tried a few years back. Since I am studying the ratio of muffins and cupcakes these days, I am happy to try out these orange Nutella muffins!

Though I am quite a health conscious person, there are still some snack/food that I can’t say no to! And Nutella applies especially to my Nutella addict husband (lol). Like Nutella makes everything better! Of course, this might not be a good choice of spread for the kiddos.

These muffins are great with a slight tang – probably from the yogurt – which pairs quite well with the Nutella. So they are not so sweet on the overall.

Why Muffins With Yogurt?

I realised muffins or cakes made with some yogurt gives a moister and velvety crumb, without complex steps or ingredients. Some recipes also substitute some of the fats (oil or butter) with some yogurt to cut the fat content.

Muffins and cupcakes made with yogurt and/or oil usually taste best the next day. So do make these 1 day ahead. I tried some on the same day that I’ve baked, and they tasted a little chewy and slightly bland. On the next day, the flavor of the yogurt and oil developed better. The muffins were quite soft and not too dense.

This recipe is also a very simple mix and bake. Quite convenient for a quick fix for next day’s breakfast!
