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.

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).

  1. Yes, you are welcome to leave them dry on the inside or add your own chocolate or choice of filling. Enjoy! XO

  2. 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

  4. can these be made without Nutella. Would they still be good? I love Churros and these look so easy to make.

  6. Hi, i hope this is a stupid question. Im in Australia and we use a fan forced oven do you know what the temperature should be for these?
    Thanks x

  8. Planning to try this out this weekend. Just wondering, do you put nutella fillings after the batter is baked or before? Thanks!!

  9. I have never baked anything in my life and gave this recipe a shot last week. I baked it for my husband and he loved it was very impressed hehe heh thank you for your recipes and getting me inspired to bake!! Ps I don’t know if you like to mention in your recipes that you use an electric oven because mine is gas so things do cook up faster.

  12. These are AMAZING!!! I love how light and fluffy they are. So much nicer than the fried donuts you buy at cafes!

  13. Maariyah I haven’t tried this myself, but you can definitely use a larger muffin tin. I would suggest to increase baking time by 10 minutes longer. Check them, and if they’re still slightly underdone in the centre, keep them in longer until they’re done 🙂

  14. Hey, I dont have a small muffin tray so I was thinking I could just make big versions in a 8 muffin tray and just increase the cooking time. Do you have any other ideas? thanks!

  16. Was wondering if your batter was a bit sticky and thick not to thick ? Did I miss something ?

  17. That’s so awesome to hear Jen! Those Panadol syringes are a life saver in more ways than just medicine 😉

  18. Just made them.. delicious!! Im not a big baker but this recipe called my name and I had to give it a go. Miraculous they came out great! I dont have a piping back but I have a two year old snd hence lots of Panadol syringes in the house and crazily enough it worked great. 1 1/2 5 ml syringes per donut;p Thank you!!

  19. Hi Maria! Not a dumb question at all. Nothing is added to the Nutella to melt it down. It melts by itself 🙂

  20. Hi there, I’m totally new to this filling-with-nutella thing so my question might sound rather dumb. but i was just wondering if you added any milk/water to melt the nutella or just melt it by itself? thank you and can’t wait to try it out! 🙂

  22. I would like to make one of these little babes :). Before I make any mistake,, is it correct that if I use plain or all-purpose flour i need to add only 1/2 tsp of baking soda or 1 tsp of baking powder+ 1/2 tsp of baking soda? I see that you use a mini muffin pan, can I use the regular one? 🙂

  23. They were still yummy the day after I made them, but didn’t last long enough to the third day! You could also freeze them and reheat when needed. 😉

  24. Hi!! These look incredible but I was wondering, does it tastes the same if you eat them a day or two after as it does the day you make it? Or is it a type of food you should eat only the day you make it?

  25. I’m so glad it worked out and you were able to enjoy the second batch! Thank you so much for letting me know! And thank you for your message! Enjoy the rest of your week Xxxx

  26. I made this the first time on the National Donut day this year, my mistake was I did read 1 teaspoon of baking powder and then realized was 1/2 TSp if using multi purpose flour, so the first time was just alright because was kind of hard (not hard just not fluffy). The 2nd time which was last week the recipe came out excellent. Your recipes are awesome Karina! Cheers

  27. Hi Michelle! After some research on the internet, I have found you can in fact substitute flour for gluten free flour, and use the baking soda to help it rise. You may also need to increase the moisture level in the batter (adding 2-4 tablespoons milk) until the batter is smooth in consistency. Please let me know how you go! Hopefully they work out fine! Xx

  29. Hey Lila! Yes, the recipe includes all purpose or plain flour/s, and the Nutella would be fine to spoon between the batter! If you try them, I’d love to hear how you go! 🙂 I hope you enjoy them! X

  30. Sounds like a great recipe! I was wondering would there be a difference if I used regular all purpose flour instead of rising? Also instead of using a piping bag because I don’t have one, could I just put the nutella in between the batter before it goes in the oven? Thanks.

  31. That’s awesome! When you squeeze the Nutella in, make sure you push the nozzle in deep and as you squeeze, move it out until its completely out. That way, the whole thing is filled with Nutella 😉 I’ll write that in to the post! Thank you for commenting! I appreciate your feedback Xx

  32. Just made these, my boyfriend loved them! haha
    There wasn’t a lot of space for the nutella though 🙂

  34. These look amazing I am going to have to try and make them soon. I shared this on my facebook news feed as well hopefully some of my friends will be able to enjoy your great photos and creations as much as I do. XOXO keep up the great work.

  36. Hi! I’m not too sure unfortunately as I haven’t tried any other flour with these? What type of substitution do you normally use?

  39. Hi, just wondering if this would work with a flour substitution? If so, any ideas what I can use instead? Anything wheat free. Thanks in advance

  41. Wow thank you so much Nicole! I have such a hard time narrowing down my shots..but I’ll get there eventually. Your feedback means so much to me!

  44. EPIC! These look incredibly delicious and are calling my name!!! …Irresistible finger licking that’s for sure! 🙂
