Nutella filled Pumpkin Muffins - Hazardously Easy

I don't do a great deal of baking for various reasons.  The biggest of them is because I eat what I bake and baked goods really are not that great for my dietary lifestyle these days.  That said, there are always special days that need a special treat.  This weekend I treated the family to a special treat and decided to step my old Pumpkin Spice Muffins and kick them up a notch with a Nutella filling. 

Now these are some really difficult muffins/cupcakes to create. (Sarcasm warnings should be going off right now!)  The experiment was an extreme success.  It was so successful I agree to bake my bride's Monday night bible study group - The Beloved Beauties - a batch for their meeting.

The ingredient list on this is pretty detailed so be ready.

Ingredients:

1 box Duncan Hines Spiced Cake Mix
1 can Libby's Pure Pumpkin (not Pumpkin pie filling!)
1/2 tsp. or so ground cloves
1/2 tsp. or so ground Allspice
1 tsp. or so ground Cinnamon
1/4 cup water
Nutella









Pretty extensive huh?  Actually, you don't have the spices.  I just like to kick it up a notch as Emeril would say.

Add the cake mix to a bowl

Add the spices and the pumpkin 

Mix it all together adding the 1/4 cup of water

Spray your muffin tins with non-stick spray

Add a Tbsp. or so to each tin

Then add a dollop of nutella to each cup

Then add another Tbsp. or so to finish filling the tin.

I added a few smaller mini-muffins without the filling.

Enjoy!
