Nutella Swirl Peanut Butter Muffins

I was staring at my bottle of peanut butter and wondering what I could 'transform' it into for a yummy tea-break. Ta-da!! Decided to marry it with the other ingredients in my pantry to have a lovey Nutella Swirl Peanut Butter Muffins for afternoon snack.

Yes, Nutella and Peanut Butter...lovely combination, isn't it?

In addition, I've also used Medella's Organic Premium Coconut Cooking Oil instead of the normal vegetable oil to bake the muffins. Many would wonder if the use of Medella's Organic Premium Coconut Cooking Oil will leave the muffins with an unpleasant coconut smell. The answer is NO as it has a neutral flavour and smell. 

I could hardly wait to enjoy these muffins while waiting for them to rise up to the occasion in the oven. Finally, the wait is over and we can enjoy this snack to our heart's content!
