• Slowly whisk in the flour mixture, until there are no lumps.
• Add a dollop (about 1 tsp or so) of Nutella onto the bottom of each muffin liner and spread to cover the bottom.
• Using a ice cream scoop or large spoon fill muffin tins to the top with pumpkin batter.
• Top each muffin with about 1 tsp of Nutella and use a toothpick to swirl it into the top of the batter.
• Bake muffins for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

*Recipe note:  the Nutella on the bottom of the muffin bakes and stays separated from the bottom of the muffin so it's a sweet treat at the bottom! If you would prefer it be mixed in, use a toothpick to swirl the Nutella on the bottom with the pumpkin batter.
