Ingredients (makes 12 gems):

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Nutella

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your butter is softened before mixing it with the sugar.
- Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to fill the muffin cups with batter and Nutella.
- Don't overfill the muffin cups with batter, as the Nutella will expand during baking.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the egg until well combined.
5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
6. Spoon a small amount of batter into each muffin cup, then add a dollop of Nutella on top.
7. Cover the Nutella with more batter until the muffin cups are about 3/4 full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
