Donuts
Made with an easy batter, baked until golden, brushed with melted butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar and stuffed with Nutella. It’s hard to believe each donut is only 64 calories. Your new edible obsession is oven-baked, not fried and made with light ingredients, creating the perfect breakfast snack or dessert full of flavour without the fat.
The perfect little snack or something sweet to enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee. We’ve done Maple Glazed Apple Fritter Donut Holes and Strawberry Cheesecake Donut Holes so of course I had to try Nutella Stuffed Churro Donut Holes!
Baked Churro Donut Holes
All done in a mini muffin pan before being stuffed with Nutella, there may be some frantic finger licking between stuffing. These little Churro babies are worth everything and more. Made with a handful of ingredients and take no more than 15 minutes to prep and bake and maybe another 2 minutes to coat.
Add on another 2 minutes to fill…depending on how much finger licking and Churro stealing happens between fills… no one has to ever know.
Fill all the Donut Hole cravings with this Baked Donuts recipe!

Nutella Churro Donut Holes
Ingredients
Donut Holes:
- 1 cup flour plain/all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
Filling:
- 1/3 cup Nutella melted
Coating:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 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 3/4 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).

Can i use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
Yes, that sounds great! Let me know how it turns out! XO
This looks and sounds delicious! I am so excited to try this recipe!
Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
What is the best way to melt the Nutella?
I like to melt ingredients by the stove but you can use the microwave warming it up a few times and stirring each time. Hope that helps! Enjoy! XO
can these be made without Nutella. Would they still be good? I love Churros and these look so easy to make.
Yes, you are welcome to leave them dry on the inside or add your own chocolate or choice of filling. Enjoy! XO
