1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
2. Make the Donut Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Fill the Donut Pan:
- Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the batter evenly into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.
4. Add Nutella Filling:
- Place Nutella in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat it for a few seconds to make it easier to work with. Spoon or pipe Nutella into the center of each donut batter.
5. Bake the Donuts:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donuts comes out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the Glaze (Optional):
- If desired, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
7. Glaze the Donuts (Optional):
- Dip the tops of the cooled donuts into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Let the glaze set, and then serve your Nutella-filled baked donuts.
These Nutella-filled baked donuts are a delicious treat for breakfast or dessert. Feel free to customize them by adding chopped nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut on top. Enjoy!
