I created a recipe for Nutella muffins using Greek Yogurt. I received a package from Fisher Nuts in order to complete my recipe. I added Fisher Almond Slivers to the muffins for an added crunch of deliciousness.
Nutella Muffins with Greek Yogurt and Fisher Chef’s Naturals Sliced Almonds
As you can probably tell I have a bit of a Nutella obsession. I can easily eat it with a spoon, but prefer to experiment with recipes. I also like to use Greek Yogurt as much as possible. I used this muffin recipe as a base and modified it to work with my ingredients.
Using the supplies included in my package from Fisher Nuts made it even more fun to create this recipe. The colorful mixing bowls and measuring spoons are just what I needed to put me in the baking mood!
I laid out all my ingredients first. I like to do this so I don’t forget anything! Then I used separate mixing bowls for the wet and dry ingredients. Mix both bowls well and then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet.
After everything was mixed together well (except almonds), I added the mixture to the Casabella Jumbo Muffin Cups. I added the almond slivers to the top of the batter. I placed the muffin cups onto a baking sheet and placed in the oven. Since I opted for the bigger muffins, the bake time increased to about 35 minutes.
Not sure if it was from the heavy batter, or the almonds on top, but my muffins didn’t rise on top. They didn’t get that “rounded muffin” top that they probably should have. Since they tasted so good, I will not consider this a fail! Everyone loved the flavor and definitely didn’t judge them on their looks.
Lol my muffins get an F in beauty. ..but a solid B plus in flavor.
I brought them to my Gram’s on Mother’s day so I got plenty of feedback. Shelley called them “brownie-ish muffins” and Mike thought they were cupcakes. They have a brownie/cake kind of consistency. The kids and everyone else loved them, as well!

September 3, 2013 at 3:52 amI can only imagine what the house must smell like with Nutella muffins baking in the oven. I assume a double batch would be in order as the fist few would not make it to the plate. Warm and nutty …Oh my heavens. I am a new discoverer of Nutella, but this recipe is getting bookmarked. Thank you, and I especially love and appreciate the photos: very clever way to write up a recipe.
