Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible donuts:
- Sugar: For sweetness and to enhance the rich chocolate flavour.
- Almond milk: for light and fluffy donuts.
- Vegetable Oil: Keeps the donuts moist and fluffy.
- Bonne Maman Hazelnut & Cocoa Spread: The star ingredient that adds a deliciously creamy texture and nutty taste.
- All-Purpose Flour: You can also use a gluten-free option to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Baking Powder: Helps the donuts rise and become light and airy.
- Cocoa Powder: Make sure to use a high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the best flavour.
- Roasted Hazelnuts: Roasted hazelnuts taste best, as unroasted ones can have a bitter flavour.
