Coconut and Nutella Donut Recipe
These decadent nutella and coconut donuts are sooo yummy — you won't even think they're homemade!
Equipment
- Donut maker
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 3 tablespoons organic, light brown sugar packed
- 1/3 cup Nutella
- 1 egg large
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup half & half (or whole milk)
- coconut oil
- Unsweetened, shredded coconut
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, on medium speed, beat together the cane sugar, light-brown sugar, Nutella and butter until well blended, about 20 seconds. Stir in egg and vanilla. Working in three separate batches, alternate adding the flour mixture and the half & half, starting and stopping with the half and half. Mix and fold until just combined.
- Prepare donuts according to your donut maker’s instructions, using melted coconut oil to thoroughly grease the surface before adding the dough.
- Alternatively… Preheat oven to 400F. Use coconut oil to grease a donut pan. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into doughnut comes out clean, about 7 – 9 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 minutes, then run a butter knife around edges to loosen and invert onto wire rack and allow to cool completely.
