Coffee and donuts?

How about coffee IN donuts?  If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then read on my friend, because I've got a breakfast recipe for the best baked donuts around.

A Coffee glazed Nutella Donut on top of a cup of coffeeThese Caramel Coffee Glazed Nutella Donuts have some fantastic flavors going on.  The rich, slightly nutty, chocolate flavor comes from a combination of the raw cacao powder and the chocolate hazelnut spread, BUT it's really the addition of the coffee flavors that brings it to the next level of tasty.    A coffee glazed nutella chocolate donut on a plate with a cup of coffee on the table

How to make the BEST Nutella donuts

I've often thought about making some type of baked Nutella donut.  Recnetly, when given the opportunity to do a coffee recipe collaboration with Gourmesso, I immediately thought of a chocolate donut recipe. 

Coffee is a fantastic ingredient to use when you want to develop a rich flavor in some dishes.  I add it to many of my chocolate recipes, when I make baked beans, and also to chili.  It was a no brainier on adding it to this baked donut recipe.  I liked the idea so much, I added two types of coffee!

Choose a flavored coffee for a unique taste

For the batter, I chose the Etiopia Blend Forte, which is a robust blend with a slight citrus flavor, and for the glaze I used the Soffio Caramello, which has sweet and creamy caramel notes.  Both were brewed via a Nespresso espresso machine at the strongest setting possible, which was the espresso/small cup option at 1.35 ounces.

The rich taste of chocolate donuts

Not only is this baked doughnut made with two different types of coffee, it's also made with two different types of chocolate.  Cocoa and Nutella.  I'm not a huge fan of the ingredients of Nutella, so I always use Rigoni Di Asiago Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread, which is basically an all-natural version.  Love this stuff and it's a great way to add some rich flavors to desserts, like my Chocolate Hazelnut Rice Dream or just eat it out of the jar like I do most of the time...

Coffee Glazed Nutella Donut with a bite taken out of itThese donuts are light and moist on the inside with a sweet, coffee-slightly caramel flavored glaze.  If you don't have a caramel flavored coffee, just use a regular coffee or leave it out all together, and make a plain powdered sugar glaze for the donuts.  Honestly, these donuts are great plain too, so you can even ditch the glaze if you want.

    I can't even with this recipe, Karrie. I'd almost forgotten about my intense love of donuts (ya know, because of all of the candy-eating making me deliriously forget everything else) and then you post these. Ohmagoodness. Such an amazing flavor combo! I love that they're are baked too

    OMG, what are you doing to me Karrie? Donuts? Chocolate? With nutella? And coffee? With a delicate caramel flavor in the background? You don't need to repeat twice - agree, you can send me a few:) P.S. a pinch of cardamom would be a great addition too.

    Whoa! Double coffee donuts! I have to give you some credit on the coffee abstinence because I have never made it longer than 24 hours without it. I don't think I could go more than 24 hours without these donuts if they were in my house. I totally want to faceplant into that glaze. GO CATS!!!!

    Girl, you KNOW I love coffee! And chocolate? That goes without saying, of course You've combined just about two of my favourite things eva in one little sweet treat. That glaze sounds amazing with the strong coffee in there. I've really got to get on this donut train and make my own dang donuts at home! These are better than anything I could buy at a coffee shop. Plus, they are baked, so you know I can totally eat, like, 3. Right? Right. Who, am I kiddin'...baker's dozen please Plus, with the money saved from making my own donuts, I have more money for wine....heheh
