Ingredients

For the muffins

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup Nutella for the filling

For the streusel topping

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

To make the muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the Nutella filling by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and spooning 1-1.5 tablespoons of Nutella on the sheet (to make 14-16 total dollops). Place in freezer for 15-20 minutes to set.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high for 1-2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
  • Add in eggs, sour cream and pumpkin puree. Mix until combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
  • In separate bowl, whisk dry ingredients together (flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, salt).
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 4 portions, mixing on low-medium for 15-30 seconds between each addition.
  • Thoroughly grease or line muffin tins (recipe usually makes 12-14 muffins)
  • Fill half of the tin with pumpkin batter using a cookie dough scoop or a spoon.
  • Remove the Nutella fillings from the freezer and place one frozen dollop in the center of each muffin tin.
  • Spoon the remaining pumpkin batter over the top and lightly smooth it out. Fill each tin about 3/4 full.
  • Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over the tops of the muffins.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (just test the top portion of the muffins with a toothpick, otherwise you will hit the Nutella).
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan. Store at room temperature.

To make the streusel topping

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar and cinnamon.
  • Cut in softened butter using a fork or your fingers. Pinch mixture together to form some larger pieces (to resemble a streusel topping).
