Nutella Doughnuts with Toasted Coconut

I’m always looking for an excuse to dive into a jar of Nutella.

And today we have one! This is legit, my friends!

It’s National Doughnut Day!

Yes! We get to partake in a tradition that started back in 1938. It was established by the Chicago Salvation Army to raise funds and to honor the work of the World War I Salvation Army Volunteers who made doughnuts and other foods for thousands of soldiers.*

Making this day a win-win. I mean, doughnuts with Nutella, toasted coconut and chopped nuts? As a result of a good cause? That works for me!

It doesn’t get any better.

I had fun playing with the ingredients for this sweet treat.

By using my basic recipe for baked doughnuts, I came up with a doughnut just as delectable as the original.

So get your pans…

Your mixing bowls…

And your toppings…

Throw in your favorite coffee mug…

And have yourself a moment…

Nutella Doughnuts with Toasted Coconut are so good…they just might bring a tear to the eye!

Buon Appetito!
