This sweet treat cannot be beat. In just an hour you can have homemade doughnuts using only three simple ingredients—and no deep-frying required! Chocolate-hazelnut spread is mixed into the batter and more is used to coat the tops, for double the deliciousness.

| Total: | 1 hr |
| Active: | 15 min |
| Yield: | 6 doughnuts |
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook’s Note), plus more for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk 3/4 cup of the Nutella and 3 of the eggs together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in the flour until combined. Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface and press into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle. Use a 3-inch round cutter to stamp out 6 doughnuts, rerolling the scraps as needed. Use a 1-inch round cutter to cut a hole in the center of each round, then place doughnuts and holes onto the prepared baking sheet. Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the doughnuts and holes with the egg wash.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a doughnut comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Microwave the remaining 1/4 cup Nutella in a small microwave-safe bowl just to loosen it, about 30 seconds. Dip the tops of the doughnuts and holes in the Nutella and swirl to completely coat. Place back, coated-sides up, onto the wire rack and let sit until set, about 15 minutes.

Reviews
I wanted to love these. The batter looked delicious but I agree with other reviewers- the baked texture was not good and they lacked flavor. Most of them went in the trash.
These are not donuts. They are like biscuits with terrible texture and they don’t have any flavor. Really ! I wasted a cup of Nutella and 4 eggs. A big disappointment .
This recipe was pretty easy. The doughnut itself was dense. I will add salt and maybe chocolate chips if I make it again.
