Nutella Stuffed Muffins

The kids love to grab a muffin and run off to play with friends. And I love to feed people. So when I made a batch of these Nutella stuffed muffins, you can bet that the kids came running. Although muffins are so simple, they are adaptable and perfect when you only have a few ingredients. They don’t require much time to make and no need for equipment. All you need is a bowl and a large spoon to make muffins, which is why it’s perfect when you want to teach the kids to bake.
