How many of you are coffee or espresso fans? I’m right up there with slightly obsessed with the stuff. If you follow me on Instagram you’ve probably seen some of my cappuccino pictures. I absolutely adore them and the foam is probably my favorite part, the more foam the better! Every Saturday and Sunday after my long runs I treat myself to a cappuccino. I’ve been trying to go to different coffee shops all around Denver and I’ve found a couple of really cute places that serve up some amazing tasting espresso. Along with drinking espresso I also like to add it to things I bake, like these Hazelnut Coffee Muffins Stuffed with Nutella.
Not only are these muffins flavored with delicious espresso powder and brewed coffee, but they are made with a combination of whole wheat pastry flour and this amazing Bob’s Red Mill Hazelnut Flour!
If you’ve never tried hazelnut flour I highly recommend it! Hazelnut flour is actually not flour at all, but rather hazelnuts ground up into a fine meal. Nut flours are great for people who are gluten free, paleo, grain free, or just love that nutty flavor and texture in their baked goods. This was my first time trying hazelnut flour. Before this I had only used Almond flour from Bob’s Red Mill (another great product!).
Along with the great flavor of the hazelnut meal, I also love the extra protein it adds to the muffins and the vitamin E. These muffins were so filling! Normally when I make muffins for breakfast I need 3 to fill me up, but because of the extra protein in these I only ate 2 and was perfectly full. So we’ve talked about the hazelnut flour, espresso, and coffee added to the muffin batter to give it that rich coffee flavor, now lets move on to the gooey rich Nutella that is stuffed in the middle of these yummy bites!
I love when food is stuffed with a little surprise in the middle. Seriously who doesn’t love biting into a delicious baked good only to find that there is something even more delicious hiding in the center of it?! As if these muffins couldn’t get any better, I decided to top them with a little hazelnut streusel, because it’s streusel and I absolutely adore the stuff! Are you like me and when you make streusel to put on top of muffins or a pie you find that half of it ends up in your mouth instead of on what you are baking? No, that’s just me? Ok, let’s pretend I didn’t just admit to doing that.
Delicious whole wheat and hazelnut flour muffins flavored with espresso and coffee, stuffed with nutella, and topped with streusel!

Both sound amazing Amy, especially those macarons!
I’d make Citrus, Cranberry and Hazelnut Biscotti.
That sounds delicious!
I want to try and use it as a crust for key lime tarts.
Yummy!

Ooh scones sound fantastic!
These look scrumptious! I would try to whip up a raspberry hazelnut muffin or cupcake with mocha/espresso frosting. MmmMMmmm. I don’t think you can go wrong with anything!
You had me at raspberry! :-)
I’d use the hazelnut flour in a pear tart!

My goodness, I need to make these muffins this weekend. While I’m not a big fan of hazelnut coffee, I love hazelnut flavor pastries! Look at that topping!
I’m right there with you Ashley, hazelnut coffee no bueno, but put it in something baked and I’m all for it!
I absolutely love coffee, and especially espresso! I have espresso every morning and a cappuccino later in the day — I’m definitely addicted. :) These muffins look so good, Danae, and I would make cupcakes, bread or muffins with the hazelnut flour — I can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Marcie! Cappuccinos are my favorite, I would drink them every day all day if I could!
I would make my no bake cookie dough pie that is topped with Nutella it is so yummy!
Sounds amazing Kaitlin!
I love coffee – a lot! I bought almond meal in the bulk bin at Whole Foods and made almond meal blueberry cookies and love the meal so much I bought more!I loved the flavor and the texture of the cookies – I would make a different version with the hazelnut!
Right there with you on the coffee Megan! Those cookies sound awesome, I’m sure the hazelnut flour would be equally delicious in them!
These muffins look amazing Danae! Hazelnut flour sounds like something I NEED to try!
Thanks Jessica! You would love baking with the hazelnut flour, it adds so much flavor!
Danae, I love expresso! We registered for an espresso machine when we got married. Best gift ever! I’ve never tried hazelnut meal, so maybe cookies or a bread?! :)
I’m so jealous you have an espresso machine Bri! I would love to have one of those!
These look amazing- I love the hazelnut and espresso combo!
Thanks Wendy! The hazelnut and espresso work so well together!
I’d like to make these muffins or a chocolate/hazelnut banana Nut Bread! Thanks for the opportunity!

Wow! you cannot go wrong with a hazelnut stuffed muffin! Awesome idea!
Thanks Mallory! :-)
I would make a banana bread
Loved reading this. I am gluten-free and have used almond flour but did not realize there is also hazelnut flour! Looking forward to making some treats with it!
The hazelnut flour is great Toni! I had only used almond flour previously too, but will definitely be keeping hazelnut in the mix!
That topping! Good gracious!!
It’s so good Nicole!
These look amazing! Will be making these in the near future.
I’d make muffins:)
I might try substituting hazelnut flour for almond flour in a recipe for almond cake that my cousin in Italy gave me.
fun! I’ve been wanting to dabble in the nut flours, but I haven’t taken the plunge yet. :) and Nutella anything!!
These look delicious. I love hazelnut flour and I certainly will never pass on Nutella! I love putting hazelnut flour into pancake mix too!
I think I might try to make a tart shell with the Hazelnut Meal, for a cherry tart.
Nutella anything sounds good to me! I had never heard of Hazelnut meal, but it sounds like a fabulous idea whose time has come. Awesome recipe!
Thanks Meggan! You definitely need to give the hazelnut meal a try, it adds so much flavor and texture to baked goods!
How have I never had this meal/flour!? This looks amazing and these muffins: oh my. I think I need another cup of coffee and a batch of these right now!
You would love the meal Justine, definitely check it out! The muffins are so awesome with coffee, I may have to bring a few for us the next time we have a coffee date!
YES all over coffee/espresso!! I’m obsessed! And I could see myself feverishly dipping these delish muffs in my morning joe. I love BRM’s hazelnut meal and could just eat nutella non-stop, so I’m thinking these muffins are a WIN!
Thanks Julia! Bob’s Red Mill really hit a home run with this hazelnut meal, I love it! Dipping the muffins in coffee sounds perfect!
looks delicious!!
Cookies!
I cannot wait to try these … they look scrumptious! Thanks for sharing :-)
