Simple Nutella Swirl Cupcakes

Sharing is caring!

Tonight I wanted to make my son some cupcakes with Nutella.   Since we were getting ready to watch the Olympic trials on TV, I didn’t want to make a complicated recipe.  So I made some easy Nutella Swirl Cupcakes from white cupcakes out of a box with an added a spoonful of Nutella.

Then I swirled the batter a little bit.

After baking, I made some vanilla butter cream frosting, and put some Nutella in the bag as well.

Then I frosted them.  They taste great with just plain buttercream frosting or, even unfrosted.  You will get a taste of the hazelnut spread when you bit into them.

This is how they look frosted.  Easy peasy and took only a few extra minutes to make.

These are ridiculously easy and so tasty!
