Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes – Baked vanilla donut holes coated in cinnamon sugar and filled with creamy Nutella. Use a mini muffin pan for these addictive homemade donuts. No frying necessary!
Here’s the thing – I started off with good intentions (and by good I mean “healthier”). These adorable donut holes are baked instead of fried. Yippee! But then I went and brushed them with butter, rolled ’em in cinnamon-sugar, and filled them with Nutella.
Gah! I’m sorry. And you’re welcome.
Just plan a liiiiiitle extra gym time this week. These things are so addictive.
I totally lost count on how many I ate. Technically I could count the remaining donut holes and do the math, but I’ll skip the shame and say I ate “a few.” Also, I should note that I did start this week with the intention of consuming little to no refined sugar, and then I realized that tomorrow – Friday, June 3rd, is National Donut Day! So, I pretty much had to make donuts. I did this for you guys. 😉 That’s what friends are for, right? Nutella Stuffed Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes for everyone!
Baked Cinnamon Sugar Donuts
Let’s talk about these beauties. Have you had a baked donut before? When baking donuts instead of frying them I like to top/coat the baked donuts in something that will add a little crunch. That helps give some of the texture that is usually lacking in a baked donut. Granulated sugar, toasted coconut, mini chocolate chips, nuts, and sprinkles all add nice crunch to the outside of a baked donut. For this recipe I used cinnamon sugar. In order to get the cinnamon sugar to stick to the outside of the donut holes, I brush the donuts with butter (I know) and then roll them in cinnamon sugar.
You can totally eat them just like that, or, you can put some Nutella in a piping bag and fill the donuts with a good sized dose of the creamy chocolate hazelnut spread. They’re great either way!
Breakfast, dessert, midday snack? All of the above? You choose. You will love these flavorful donuts/doughnuts (← which is it?). I’m going with donuts. It feels less fancy.
