Servings: 12 muffins
Calories: 298kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups (375g) plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150g) caster/granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk*
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (220g) canned pumpkin puree
- 12 teaspoons Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with muffin cases, then set aside.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and light in colour. Add the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and pumpkin, and whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined - do not overmix. The mixture will be thick and somewhat lumpy.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cases, filling only half way. Spoon 1 teaspoon of Nutella into the centres, then top with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted just off centre (to avoid Nutella) comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
