I still remember the first time I made these nutty churro bites. They weren’t part of some grand kitchen plan—just a craving I had on a lazy Saturday afternoon. But wow, once they hit the cinnamon-sugar coating and that warm, melty Nutella center came through, I knew these would be on repeat. They’re like little golden pillows of joy. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and just the right amount of messy. There’s something about a warm bite-sized treat that sticks to your fingers and your memories. And let’s be real—if a churro and a doughnut hole had a baby and that baby loved Nutella? This would be it. Whether you’re sneaking a few before dinner (no judgment) or sharing them after a cozy meal, these bites bring comfort with a little crunch. They’ve got the kind of flavor that stops you mid-conversation—yeah, they’re *that* good.

2) Easy Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella Recipe

There’s something about churros that makes me pause. Maybe it’s the warm sugar coating that melts on your tongue, or maybe it’s the way they crunch just a little before the softness inside steals the spotlight. When I first made these Nutty Churro Bites, I wasn’t trying to impress anyone. I just wanted something quick, something easy, something that fell squarely into the category of sweet easy recipes. And boy, did these hit the spot.

They’re golden brown, crisped in oil, and rolled in a simple cinnamon-sugar blend. But here’s where the magic really happens: Nutella. Whether you spoon it, drizzle it, or go all in and inject it, that rich hazelnut chocolate spread turns a regular snack into a stop-what-you’re-doing treat. I’ve made these for birthdays, brunches, and once, just because it was Tuesday and I had a craving.

If you’re into sweet easy recipes that don’t ask much from your pantry or your schedule, these little bites might become your new go-to. Trust me, once you make them, there’s no going back.

3) Ingredients for Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
This is the shortcut we all secretly love. No yeast, no rising time. Just pop, cut, roll, and fry.

1/2 cup granulated sugar
It’s what turns the outside from just fried dough into that familiar churro vibe.

1 tablespoon cinnamon
It gives that nostalgic warmth that makes you think of street fairs and holidays at the same time.

1/2 cup Nutella (or hazelnut spread)
Use more or less depending on your mood or your tolerance for spoon licking.

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
I like pecans or hazelnuts. They add crunch and make the bites feel more grown-up somehow.

Oil for frying
Pick a neutral oil that can handle heat—canola or vegetable works fine. You want the bites golden, not greasy.

4) How to Make Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella

Step 1. Pop the biscuit can and cut each one into quarters. Roll the pieces into small balls with your hands. They don’t need to be perfect—imperfection is charming here.

Step 2. Pour oil into a deep pan or skillet and heat it up over medium. You’ll know it’s ready when a tiny bit of dough dropped in starts bubbling fast.

Step 3. Fry the dough balls in batches. Don’t crowd them or you’ll get pale, sad churros. Give them space to dance and turn golden on all sides.

Step 4. Drain the bites on a paper towel-lined plate. Let them sit a minute so you don’t burn your fingertips in excitement.

Step 5. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. While the bites are still warm, roll them gently in the mix. Get every side coated. You want that flavor in every bite.

Step 6. Spoon Nutella over the top or dip them. You can also get fancy with a piping bag and fill them. Sprinkle chopped nuts if you’re feeling it. Then? Eat warm and grin wide.

5) Tips for Making Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella

Don’t overheat the oil. Too hot and the bites will brown too fast, leaving the center raw. I usually test with a tiny piece first and adjust the heat down if it goes too wild.

Use fresh oil. If your oil smells weird or looks cloudy, skip it. Old oil gives off-flavors. These bites deserve better.

Want to avoid sticky fingers? Skewer the bites with a toothpick before dunking them in Nutella. Or forget the manners and just go in hands-first—no shame here.

6) Making Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella Ahead of Time

You can prep these ahead if you like. Roll the dough balls and store them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap. Then fry when you’re ready. I wouldn’t coat them until just before serving or the sugar gets soggy.

The cinnamon sugar sticks better when the bites are warm. So if you’re reheating, use the oven or air fryer—not the microwave—so they crisp back up before you coat them again.

For the Nutella, warm it slightly before drizzling. Cold Nutella is too thick and can tear the bites apart. A few seconds in the microwave works wonders.

7) Storing Leftover Nutty Churro Bites with Nutella

Leftovers? Rare, but if they happen, store the bites in an airtight container at room temp for a day or two. Longer than that and they lose their charm.

To revive them, heat them in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes. Avoid the microwave—it softens them too much. We want crunch.

Keep the Nutella separate and add it fresh each time. Trust me on this. Reheated Nutella is a mess you don’t want to clean off your Tupperware lid.
