Baked cinnamon doughnuts with Nutella filling

Serves:

Makes 12

Ingredients

• 1 cup (150g) plain flour
• 1/3 cup (80g) caster sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup (125ml) milk
• 40g butter, melted
• 1/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella)

Cinnamon sugar coating:

• 1/3 cup (80g) caster sugar
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 40g butter, melted

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and grease a 12-hole patty tin with melted butter.

Sift together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the egg, milk and melted butter and whisk until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold together.

Divide two-thirds of the mixture among the prepared patty tin, and gently spoon a little chocolate hazelnut spread on top of each hole. Cover with remaining mixture.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. For the cinnamon sugar coating, mix the caster sugar and cinnamon together and let the donuts cool a little in the pan before turning out, brushing with the melted butter. Toss with the cinnamon sugar and serve!
