Steps for preparing and cooking Easter muffins with Nutella and chocolate eggs:
Prepare the soft yogurt muffins: In a bowl, place the egg and granulated sugar and use a whisk to beat well until the mixture is frothy. Add the vegetable oil and yogurt and mix well, then add the vanilla.
Now add the sifted flour and potato starch, and finally the sifted baking powder, mixing the ingredients well until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture. You can also use electric beaters if you prefer.
Place the mixture in 4 large muffin cups. We used paper ones, but you can use disposable ones (previously oiled and floured) or silicone ones (they are smaller so you will get more muffins).OVEN COOKING: bake in a preheated oven at 355°F for 23-25 minutes.
AIR FRYER COOKING: 330°F for about 12 minutes (do the toothpick test)
Let the muffins cool, then place 4-5 tablespoons of Nutella in a pastry bag with a narrow tip and decorate the surface of the muffins with Nutella by making overlapping circles to simulate a nest, then decorate with colorful eggs.
