Pumpkin Nutella muffins, a small batch of muffins makes just 6.
Have you seen my pumpkin ebook for 25 pumpkin recipe that aren’t pie and 1 that is? I think you would love it.
Tiny bit distracted as I write this post.
I took these photos when I had 13 other things on my To Do list (we really pick and choose what we want to spend our time on, don't we?).
I edited the photos when I had 13 other things on my mind (they were a welcome distraction).
And now? I'm writing this post with the beach in my ears. You guys are baking pumpkin things to stay warm, and I'm wearing nothing but a bikini for 9 days. No, really--I didn't pack any underwear; bikinis only! If you know nothing else about me, know that I am one hell of a packer. I have the smallest suitcase you've ever seen, and I'm proud of it.
Other things I'm proud of: the ridiculous Nutella swirl on these muffins. My little trick is to slightly soften the Nutella in the microwave before attempting to swirl. The smallest amount of Nutella will make the prettiest swirls, so in order to make up for that insanity, we cram a scoop of Nutella in the middle of the muffins, too. Are you with me? Into each cup goes one small scoop pumpkin muffin batter, a dollop of Nutella, another scoop of pumpkin, and then a little less than a teaspoon of melted Nutella for swirling.
All of that makes the best pumpkin Nutella muffins you've ever had--promise!
Are we calling these pumpkin Nutella muffins or pumpkin Nutella cupcakes? Muffins are really just cupcakes masquerading as breakfast food, no? I'm pretty sure the qualifying factor for muffins is the inclusion of 1 health ingredient. I used coconut oil FOR YOUR HEALTH, ergo: muffin.
You can make these for a carry-on airplane breakfast and feel virtuous for passing on the stale peanuts. You really have your shit together if you can prepare for a trip and make healthy take-along snacks. Let's just say I feel like I have my shit in one pile these days, and I'm feelin' good. I don't know why you need to know that, but I think you do.
I'm feeling so good that I'm working on edits for my Sweet and Simple: Dessert for Two cookbook from this beach chair. I also have plans to make a mini dessert or breakfast for you while I'm here, and embarrass my husband by forcing him to take photos of me on the beach while I eat it. If you know of a support group for people married to bloggers, please, let him in!
He has so many good stories to share. But just when he's about to share another embarrassing story about what it's like to be married to a food blogger, I push another pumpkin Nutella muffin in his mouth. It's for the best.
Just tryin' to keep the peace,
Christina

These look amazing! I'm now trying to fit "pick up Nutella" on my own list of 13 things to do today.
I'm dying over the goal being all one's shit in a single pile. Here I was, somehow feeling like the goal is to have no shit, or to have shit so well hidden that nobody knows... but you are so right, the saying *is* to have it together! I mean, as of this minute, I definitely do not have my shit together but in 20 minutes I could probably make a pile.

Best idea ever to bring these on vacation and eat them on the plane. They look perfffect! Hope you're having the most wonderful vacation! :)

After coming across this recipe and seeing how simple it was to make it, it left me speechless. I was looking for an alternative apart from the usual chocolate chip cookies to make for my family and since Halloween was coming up, why not go with pumpkins? :). Not to mention, I am a huge Nutella fan and combining it with pumpkin seems way too good to be true. This dessert would make a good substitute for a breakfast pick-up if you don't have the time in the morning or it could also be the solution to your afternoon sweet tooth craving! I am most definitely adding this recipe to my must-make list for October!
