Super Soft Nutella Muffins and Gluten-Free

Super soft Nutella muffins and gluten-free, these muffins are incredibly soft, with a ricotta-based batter, gluten-free and flourless.


A super quick treat, they are ready in minutes and make a delicious snack!

They are great with Nutella in the batter but also without, by adding chocolate chips or replacing the hazelnut spread with pistachio cream 😍

  • Difficulty: Very Easy
  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 10 Minutes
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All Seasons

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup ricotta
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free potato starch
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 packet baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons Nutella® (about 5 oz)

Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.

    Beat the ricotta with sugar and vanilla using a mixer, add the whole eggs and a pinch of salt while continuing to beat, when well blended add the Nutella.

    Finally, incorporate the sifted potato starch and baking powder.

  • Pour the batter into the greased and floured muffin tray or muffin liners filling them 3/4 full.

    Bake at 350°F for about 20/25 minutes.

    Always do the toothpick test to check doneness before taking them out and then let them cool on a rack.

👉As always, I recommend storing the muffins tightly closed in a cake container or under a dome to keep them soft for several days.

You can also store them in the fridge.

👉You can use the same batter to make them plain, simply omit the Nutella, and add chocolate chips.
