In case you didn’t know yet- I’m a carb-a-holic. Raised on pasta, flour tortillas and white bread, it was inevitable. Oh, and sugar. Lots of sugar. My dad would stock the house {OK, his dresser} with all sorts of candy bars. My sisters and I may or may not have helped ourselves to one or two on occasion. In the kitchen was just about every brand of cream filled chocolate cupcake or golden cake out there. Not to mention cookies and donuts. The mini donuts were my favorite, you know, the chocolate frosted ones? So addicting. In fact, anytime I visit my mom and dad, one of the first things I do is look for those donuts. Yep, he still buys them.
I’ve been wanting to make my own donuts for a while now, but just hadn’t gotten around to it. Finally, I bought a mini donut pan and went for it.
These baked chocolate hazelnut donuts are the result. The chocolate hazelnut ganache is simply fabulous.
Did you know that there’s such a thing as hazelnut meal? Bob’s Red Mill has a really good one and it’s a lot easier to use than I imagined. In fact, they have a ton of flours and grains that are easily incorporated into everyday recipes.
My family loved these, and I can’t wait to make them again.
