Nutella Churro Donut Holes
Description
This recipe produces small baked donut holes using a batter of flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, salt, canola oil, egg, vanilla, and milk. The batter is spooned into a greased mini muffin tray and baked until golden and cooked through. After cooling slightly, they are brushed with melted butter and tossed in a cinnamon sugar mixture, mimicking the cinnamon sugar coating typical of churros.
Each donut hole is then filled by piping warmed Nutella into the center, causing them to puff and become filled with the creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread. The resulting texture features a tender, soft donut exterior with a sweet, smooth filling, and a lightly crisped cinnamon sugar surface. The combination recalls churro flavors in a convenient baked form rather than fried.
These donut holes work as a sweet snack or dessert. Variations in fillings are possible, with whipped cream, raspberry jelly, or custard suggested as alternatives. Their baked nature allows for a simpler preparation compared to traditional fried churros while still delivering similar flavors.
Ingredients
Donut Holes:
- 1 cup flour plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar white
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- ½ cup milk
Filling:
- ⅓ cup Nutella melted
Coating:
- 1 tablespoon butter melted, unsalted
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar white
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 24-count mini muffin tray with cooking oil spray; wipe over excess with paper towel and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together. Make a well in the centre and add the oil, egg, vanilla and milk. Whisk the batter until smooth and lump free.
- Spoon the batter (about 2 teaspoons) into each muffin hole, filling to to ¾ full. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden in colour and a toothpick inserted into the centre of a donut comes out clean. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes and transfer them onto a cooling rack.
- Brush each donut over with a light coating of melted butter; combine the sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl; toss each donut hole into the cinnamon sugar mix until evenly coated.
- Fill a piping bag with the Nutella. Using a a narrow nozzle, fill each donut with the Nutella until they puff up and expand (not too much or the donuts will overflow).
Notes
- Donut holes can be filled with alternatives like whipped cream, raspberry jelly, or custard if Nutella is not preferred.
