How do I keep the Nutella from falling into the bottom of the muffins?

The muffin batter should be thick and lumpy, it will hold the mounds of Nutella and prevent it from falling back into the bottom of the pan.

How do I know if the muffins are done?

They are ready when they are puffed and golden on top. You can check for doneness by plunging a toothpick into the center of the muffin, it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

Why are my muffins falling down?

If your muffins fall back after baking, they were undercooked. Do not open the oven door during baking as this may cause heat shock and cause the bump to fall out.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 420°F / 220°c (fan oven) and line a cupcake/muffin tin with paper liners.
On a baking sheet, spoon out large chunks of Nutella and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla and buttermilk until you have a smooth, homogeneous cake batter.
Then gently fold in the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix to form a smooth cake batter.
Pour the dough into the boxes, filling them by half, and place the frozen Nutella discs on top of the dough without pushing them in and cover with a little dough.
Then place a small amount of Nutella on top and form a swirl of dough with the tip of a knife.
Bake for 5 minutes then lower the temperature to 350°F/180°C and bake for a further 10 - 15 minutes, without opening the oven door, until the muffins are golden brown with a nice bump on top.
Let muffins cool completely before eating.
