These Nutella Donuts combine chocolate hazelnut spread with crescent roll dough to make a cruller-shaped donuts you bake in the oven. They’re light and fluffy, plus you can make them with just 3 ingredients!
So it’s no secret that we have a love affair going on with Nutella! Whether it’s our Nutella Banana Crescent Ring or Nutella Pull Apart Pie or Braided Nutella Bread, these desserts are some of our favorites and will be yours too!
Today we’re making these baked Nutella donuts using crescent roll dough. Instead of having to stuff the Nutella into the middle as a chocolate filling, it gets woven throughout!
We’ve put these out for Game Day and people went crazy for them. They’re perfect for a party or potluck, although you might want to double the recipe!
How to Make Nutella Donuts
These donuts are super-easy to make. Unroll the crescent roll dough and pull off one triangular piece. Spread Nutella across the top and roll it up, pinching the two ends together to seal. Repeat for the remaining triangles.
Put the donuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Before baking, you can brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with optional cinnamon sugar if you like. Then bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees F.

I live in spain. Cannot get cressant roll of dough. What else can i buy to make the dough
Hi Linda, Thanks for your question. I know it’s challenging getting refrigerated doughs in Europe. My advice is to buy frozen dough to make croissants, which should be available in the supermarkets there. Hope that helps!
