Mini Nutella Swirled Muffins #MuffinMonday

It's the best day of the month - Muffin Monday!

I have a winner for you guys today. The muffins have Nutella in them. Enough said. Once there's Nutella, there's perfection. I've had this particular jar for a while now. I wanted to make a Nutella buttercream for my birthday cake but over 2 months later, that cake is still unbaked. Maybe next weekend? March? Next December? I don't think the Nutella will last that long. I'll just keep eating it with a spoon.

My coworkers are getting really lucky today. They didn't get the morning glory bundt so they're getting these muffins instead.

As usual, scroll below the recipe to see what the other Muffin Monday bakers have for you today. Guaranteed yumminess.
