I recently was cruising goodwill gathering some tools for hubby to use in the garden vs my good silverware.. when i came across a donut pan. It was $3 and i knew i just had to have it…
That meant i had do go down the rabbit hole of different kinds of treats. Started with chocolate coconut – but that needs to be re-tried… then I finally remembered to grab a bottle of nutella at the grocery store.
This is a multi step recipe, so make sure to leave time.

- Whisk in flour mixture.
- Transfer the mixture in piping bag (or zip-lock bag and cut off the corner).
- Fill donut pan with half of the batter.
- Take the Nutella rings from the freezer and place on top.
- Cover Nutella with remaining batter.
- Bake about 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch.
- Cool donuts for 5 minutes in the pan then invert on a rack.
Topping
- In a bowl combine cinnamon and sugar.
- Melt 2 Tbsp. butter.
- Brush each donut with melted butter, then dip in cinnamon sugar mixture.
Verdict:
These were very tasty! Hubby was saddened when i shared 1 with the neighbor!
Pro tip – make sure to keep the bottom and top dough even, i ran out of tough on my last donut so that was an open face adventure – which was still fantastic!
If you make these, let me know what you think!
