Hazelnut Chocolate Baked Donuts

I have an incredible sweet recipe to share with you without any of the guilt. You need to try my Hazelnut Chocolate Baked Donuts. 🍩 The secret ingredient is Bonne Maman’s new Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread!

These deliciously moist and fluffy donuts are the perfect bite size delights. They are uncomplicated to make and I bet you won’t be able to eat just one. These hazelnut chocolate baked donuts can cure any chocolate craving. These are festive and fun because they’re baked, so they’re a little healthier for you too. So yes you can have your donuts and indulge your senses because life is meant to be lived fully!

This recipe essentially tastes like mini chocolate cakes. I don’t know about you but I could eat chocolate cake any day of the week. I’ve made these for my friends birthday and they were a huge hit at the party. SO if you are in need of a little inspiration, you should try these bad boys out. You can alternatively top them with just the hazelnut & cocoa spread, sprinkles, crushed M&M’s, or even any other roasted peanuts. This recipe can be easily doubled.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

• Sugar
• Vegetable oil
• Bonne Maman Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread
• All purpose flour or gluten free option
• Baking powder
• Cocoa powder: make sure to use a high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Roasted hazelnuts: roasted tastes best as un-roasted can become bitter

Pro Tips: I like using silicon donut molds as they are easier to remove the donuts from the pan. You can also use metal donut molds if you have on hand. I found mine on Amazon.
