1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Hazelnut Swirl:
1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
Optional Topping:

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. In another bowl whisk eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
5. Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Add about 2 teaspoons of chocolate-hazelnut spread to the top of each muffin.
7. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the chocolate-hazelnut spread into the batter.
8. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts or mini chocolate chips if desired.
9. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
10. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
11. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep the muffins soft and fluffy.
Warm the chocolate-hazelnut spread slightly if it is too thick to swirl.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
Delicious served warm with coffee or hot chocolate.
