Wednesday, 5 February 2025 marks World Nutella® Day.
The day of celebration for the beloved chocolate spread was established in 2007 by American blogger and Nutella lover Sara Rosso. She began celebrating the day by sharing pictures, ideas, inspiration, and recipes on social media. Here are some great recipes to try for World Nutella® Day!

Nutella® Croissant
Let’s start off simple with an easy Nutella® Croissant. There are two ways to do this – it depends on your preference. Simply cut your croissants in half and spread a generous amount of Nutella®. Or, if you feel extra fancy, you can buy Jus-Roll Croissant dough. Unroll the dough, following the instructions on the packaging, and spread as much Nutella® as you’d like. Then cut the dough into triangles. Roll the triangles into a croissant shape and brush an egg wash onto the outside of your croissants to get that lovely golden, flaky pastry. Bake your croissants in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes at 200°C and enjoy!

Porridge with Nutella®
This quick and easy breakfast recipe will help you get the energy you need for the day. All you will need is 70g of rolled oats, 350ml of milk, and 2 tablespoons of Nutella®. Place the oats and milk in a saucepan, bring it to a boil, then turn down the heat to cook the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes. For good measure, you can also add another spoonful of Nutella® on top. To make it your own, feel free to add other toppings, such as hazelnuts, bananas, and more.

Nutella® Crêpes
Another quick and enjoyable breakfast recipe that includes a good amount of Nutella® only requires four ingredients: 1 egg, 125g of flour, 250ml of milk, and 1 tablespoon of Nutella® per crêpe. Whisk the milk, flour, and egg together. Then add the tablespoon of Nutella® and mix until smooth. Heat up 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan on medium heat and add some batter. Cook the crêpes one by one until both sides have a light golden colour. Enjoy your yummy start to the day!

Nutella® Muffins
For this recipe, you will need 175g of unsalted butter, 175g of caster sugar, 3 medium eggs, 175g of self-raising flour, and 150g of Nutella®. Preheat your oven to 180°C while you are making the muffin batter. Mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one by one. To finish making the batter, gently stir in the flour. Scoop the mixture evenly into your muffin tray. Put a spoonful of Nutella® in each muffin and make a swirl. Bake for 20 minutes until golden, and they’re ready for you to enjoy.

Nutella® Stuffed Cookies
Be prepared for melt-in-the-mouth goodness with these Nutella® stuffed cookies. You will need 15 teaspoons of Nutella®, 115g of unsalted butter, 175g of light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 medium egg, 275g of plain flour, ½ teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of cornflour, and 200g of finely chopped chocolate. For the gooey filling, freeze heaped teaspoons of Nutella® on a lined tray for 30 to 60 minutes. Preheat your oven to 180°C and make your cookie dough by mixing all the ingredients together. Split your cookie dough mixture into 15 portions. Flatten each portion of dough, place one ball of frozen Nutella® on top, and then wrap the remaining cookie dough around it. Bake in the oven for 11 to 13 minutes for a gooey cookie!

Nutella® Brownies
This three-ingredient recipe is a great Nutella® recipe. You will need 400g of Nutella®, 3 medium eggs, and 75g of plain flour. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a square tin with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, add Nutella®, the eggs, and plain flour, and mix thoroughly until combined. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake the brownies for 20+ minutes, or until baked to perfection. The shorter the bake, the gooier. Feel free to add any extra toppings to your brownies.
