These air fryer chocolate hazelnut filled donuts are soft, fluffy, and coated in buttery sugar with a rich Nutella center. A delicious homemade treat that’s easier than traditional fried donuts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk, heated to 110 degrees F
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tsp. white sugar, divided
  • 2 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 8 Tbsp. melted butter, divided
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup white sugar (for coating donuts)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella)

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, and yeast. Whisk and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, salt, beaten egg, 4 tablespoons melted butter, and flour. Knead with a dough hook on low speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Increase the speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and elastic. Add a little more flour if needed to reduce stickiness.
  4. Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  5. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 12 equal pieces, and roll into balls. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray the dough balls with oil and air fry for about 6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Brush the warm donuts with the remaining 4 tablespoons melted butter and roll in the coating sugar.
  8. Fill a piping bag with chocolate hazelnut spread. Cut a small opening in each donut and pipe in the filling.
  9. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • If the dough is sticky, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time while kneading.
  • An oven can be used instead of an air fryer at 350 degrees F until baked through.
  • Best enjoyed the day they are made.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
