Hi! These look so tasty, and I’m going to try to make them tonight with raspberries! Do you think I could reduce the sugar a bit, to perhaps 3/4 c without altering the texture too much?
Thank you!
Yes, you can reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and that shouldn’t change much. I hope you enjoy the muffins!
Hi, Can this be made using frozen strawberries? Or perhaps use jam instead? Thank you!
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries. As for the jam, do you mean in the batter or instead of Nutella?
Hi. Thank you for replying!
Yes, in the batter. Perhaps doing a swirl to get the strawberry flavor in the muffin?
Yes can, but keep in mind strawberry jam gives a different flavor compared to fresh or frozen strawberries.
Hi Lily, I’ve tried this recipe and my husband gave 2 thumbs up and I’m really surprise as he’s not a muffin guy. 😁 May I know can I double the amount of the ingredients so that I can have 24 muffins instead of 12? I’m just a beginner baker. Thank you.
You’re welcome and yes, you can double the recipe for 24 muffins!
Hi. Can these be frozen ? Any recommendations for freezing ?
Yes, these can be frozen. Place the muffins in a freezer-friendly container for ziplock bag and store in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the fridge and warm up in the oven or toaster oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes.
I love this recipe so much! On the outside it looks like a regular strawberry muffin, but the Nutella in the inside is just like a little surprise! My kids love it!
Can I replace strawberries with blueberries for this recipe? Thank you.
Yes you can. Enjoy and have a great weekend!
OMG….THESE WERE YUMMY…Thank you so much for this lovely recipe..my family loved it
Just needed a little help,can we store these in the fridge for a 7-8 days?
MUCH MORE THAN FIVE STARS..LOVELY
Hi DV,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Because of the fresh fruit in these muffins, I only recommend storing them in the fridge for 3-4 days. If you want longer storage, I suggest freezing them and when ready to consume, just thaw and reheat in the oven to crisp up the exterior. I hope that helps. Please feel free to email me back if you have any further questions:)
Thank you very much for your quick response..at what temperature can i reheat them and for how long..(will the taste not get altered if i freeze).actually my parents are coming after a week and i want them to taste these fab muffins….by the way i’m enjoying one right now with my cup of coffee:)
I would say 350F for 5 minutes. However they aren’t going to taste as good after they’ve been frozen and reheated. I would recommend making them fresh for your parents. I’m a true believer that most baked goods are best the day of. Enjoy and have a fabulous day!
I made these this morning and they came out great! I froze spoonfuls of the Nutella on cling wrap overnight before placing into the batter so it remained like a nice pocket of chocolate goodness instead of melting into the batter whilst baking. I also ommited the sugar topping but they were excellent even without! I ended up with 14 large muffins but I think it’s because I beat the eggs and sugar until pale and the volume increased due to air incorporation. Will definitely make again!
Hi Nirvana, thank you for the wonderful feedback and for sharing the great tip on freezing the Nutella. Enjoy and have a lovely day:)
Nutella stuffed! That got my attention right away. I want everything Nutella stuffed! They look and sound awesome, Lily! And adorable, too!
Thanks Angie, you and me both! I love Nutella with and in everything:)

That’s one of my favorite things to sprinkle on top of quick breads, I do that all the time now with banana bread! I love the pics and I never would have thought to add Nutella in the middle, but now that I see it, it makes total sense!! See ya, Lily!!
Thanks Dave, hugs:)
Wow, what gorgeous muffins – I love the vibrant pops of color from the strawberries. And I’m sure the Nutella center is a lovely surprise, too!
Thanks CakePants xx
