Instructions
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
- Add the orange juice, oil, orange zest, and cinnamon. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Do not overwork the mixture.
- Lightly grease and flour a donut pan, then spoon the batter into each cavity, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Bake the donuts in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean.
- Allow the donuts to cool slightly before removing them from the pan.
- Once cooled, pipe or spoon Nutella into the center of each donut.
- Dust the donuts with powdered sugar just before serving for a finishing touch.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, ensure the Nutella is dairy-free, or substitute with a different nut butter.
- These donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 2 days at room temperature.
