Here’s Why!   

• The key to taking these baked cake donuts over the top is the delightful Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting on top with Oreo crumbles galore.
• By adding Greek yogurt and almond milk to this donut recipe, it makes these muffins ultra tender, moist and fluffy.
• The dark chocolate cocoa powder and chocolate extract gives the donuts an extra kick of chocolate, and with the pairing of creamy, delicious vanilla cream cheese frosting and irresistible Oreos?!  Oh Hello Yummy!
• If you don’t have a donut pan, which you totally should, because they are cheap to buy and your donuts will look professional.  Plus who the heck doesn’t like donuts?  If you don’t have a donut pan, you can make them in muffin tins as well!

How to Make Baked Oreo Donuts!

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.
3. Sift the cocoa powder into a large bowl, then add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk all together. Set aside.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt or sour cream, and chocolate or vanilla extract. Add in the melted butter and whisk until combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir them together until just combined.
6. Take a large ziplock, snip an inch hole in corner and spoon the batter into the bag, then pipe the donut dough into the greased doughnut pan filling each well about ¾ of the way full. You can also use a spoon, or a pastry bag to do this as well.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted comes out clean.
8. Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the Oreo Vanilla Frosting.

How to Make Oreo Vanilla Frosting 

1. Mix the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and mix in until well combined.
2. If frosting is too thick, add some milk or cream, a tablespoon at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frost donuts.
3. Immediately sprinkle the Oreo crumbles on top, as many as you want.

Baked Oreo Donut Tips

• Just like muffins and quick breads, you don’t want to over mix your donut batter.  The results won’t be fluffy and tender if you over mix!  Just keep repeating to self , seven times in a row…*Don’t Overmix! Don’t Overmix!, etc…*  It works!
• In addition, you should sift your cocoa powder if it’s lumpy.  Cocoa powder can be quite lumpy right out of the can, which can lead to over-mixing the donut batter. Therefore, kind of like de ja vu, which we just covered in the last paragraph. 🙂
• Here are a few more tips if you want to read up on Quick Bread Tips.
• For the frosting, you could also use pre-made vanilla frosting right out of the tub, if you’re in a pinch or want a short-cut, but I love these donuts with this recipe!

Storing Donuts

• Store baked donuts in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.  They are best eaten the same day they are made!
