- Cover the bowl with a towel and allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. During this time, preheat the oven to 425ºF / 220ºC.
- For bakery style muffins, line a 12 count muffin pan with 6 muffin liners, meaning you’ll only fill every other muffin well with batter. Fill the liners with 2 tablespoons of batter.
- Heat the nutella in the microwave until melty. Drop 1 teaspoon of nutella into each muffin cup, spread into an even layer. Add 2 tablespoons of batter, covering the first layer of nutella. Then drop 1 more teaspoon of nutella, spread into an even layer. Fill the muffin cups with about 4 tablespoons of batter.⅔ cup (200g) nutella
- Top each muffin with a little bit of nutella, swirling it into the batter with a toothpick. Sprinkle the tops with sanding sugar.
- Place one pan in the center of the oven and bake for 7 minutes at 425ºF / 220ºC, then keep the muffins in the oven, turn the temperature down to 350ºF / 180ºC and bake for 16-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan. Repeat with the remaining batter, bumping the temperature back up to 425ºF / 220ºC.
