Ingredients:

1 cup (150 g) sugar
Zest of 1 lemon (white pith removed)
2 large egg whites
2 large egg yolks
A pinch of salt
1/4 cup (60 ml) sunflower oil
3.5 tablespoons (50 g) melted butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
1.5 cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
1 packet (10 g) baking powder
1/2 cup (150 g) Nutella

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to have it ready while you prepare the batter.

2. Prepare the Sugar and Lemon:

Place the sugar in the Thermomix bowl and pulse for 10 seconds at speed 10 until finely ground.
Add the lemon zest and blend again for 20 seconds at speed 10. Remove and set aside.

3. Whip the Egg Whites:

Without cleaning the bowl, add the butterfly attachment and insert the egg whites along with a pinch of salt.
Whip at speed 3.5 for 4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.

4. Mix the Egg Yolks and Sugar:

Replace the butterfly, add the egg yolks, and the reserved lemon-sugar mixture to the bowl.
Mix at speed 3.5 for 1 minute until well combined.

5. Incorporate the Liquids:

With the machine running at speed 3 (no time set), slowly pour in the sunflower oil, melted butter, and milk.

6. Add the Dry Ingredients:

Remove the butterfly. Add the flour and baking powder to the bowl.
Mix at speed 4 for 30 seconds until the batter is smooth and mixed well.

7. Fold in the Egg Whites:

Carefully fold the muffin batter into the bowl of whipped egg whites using gentle, sweeping motions to maintain the fluffy texture.

8. Fill the Muffin Cups:

Fill each muffin cup one-third full with batter.
Add a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each cup and then top with more batter until it’s about three-quarters full.

9. Let Rest and Bake:

Let the muffins sit in their mold for 30 minutes to allow them to rise.
Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Professional Tips for Perfect Muffins:

Nutella Center: For a more molten center, freeze small dollops of Nutella before adding them to the batter. They will bake into a creamy center!
Extra Topping: Dust the muffins with powdered sugar or add a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for an extra special touch.
Fluffy Texture: Be gentle when folding in the whipped egg whites to avoid deflating the batter.
Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container to keep them fresh and fluffy for 2-3 days.
Variations: Swap Nutella with jam, caramel sauce, or peanut butter for a twist!

With these tips, you’ll bake delicious Nutella muffins that are sure to impress!
