Can I bake Nutella?
I'm wanting to use Nutella in my cookies. However, I'm not sure if it's okay to bake Nutella under these conditions:
- Undiluted – I wouldn't mix the Nutella with any other ingredients
- Not exposed – the Nutella would be baked inside the cookie, in a pocket in the dough
- 190° Celsius (375° Fahrenheit)
- 10 minutes in the oven
So, will this work out? If not, what would I need to change to make it okay to bake Nutella?
Best Answer
I have no experience with cookies, but I DID bake Nutella as a filling in bread-dough, and a friend of mine made nutella-cupcakes.
In neither case was there any issue, and both versions extend the 10-minute-mark. Just let the cookies cool down some before biting into them. Hot Nutella is... well, HOT!

It shouldn't take more than 15 seconds for Nutella to melt when in the oven. After 15 seconds, you can check if the spread has really melted. If not, give it another 10 seconds or so. By that time, the Nutella should have softened enough for it to be spread into bread.Can I Melt Nutella for cake?
