Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella – Sweet Easy Recipes You’ll Crave
Let’s talk about churros, shall we? They’re crunchy, golden, cinnamon-sugar dreams—but bite-sized and with Nutella? Game changer. These nutty churro bites bring together the toasty warmth of a carnival treat and the creamy hazelnut joy we all know too well. I made a batch of these one rainy Saturday, thinking they'd last a few days. They were gone in an hour. No regrets.
They’re ridiculously easy to whip up, and if you’ve got a sweet tooth or, honestly, just a pulse, you’re going to love them. The cinnamon coating gives that classic churro punch, and the gooey Nutella middle? Don’t even get me started.
You don’t need a deep fryer. Just a muffin tin, some pantry basics, and a willingness to get a little sugar on your sleeves. Trust me, these are worth it. Let’s get baking.
Servings: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup Nutella or hazelnut spread
- 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts or hazelnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line with paper cups.
- Separate each biscuit and cut into quarters. Flatten each piece with your fingers.
- Place about half a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each flattened piece.
- Fold the dough around the Nutella, pinching to seal it well. Roll gently into a ball.
- Place each ball into the muffin tin slot. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- While they bake, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- When the bites come out of the oven, brush them with melted butter.
- Roll the warm bites in cinnamon sugar and sprinkle with chopped nuts if using.
- Let cool slightly (but not too much—these are best warm and gooey).
