Baked Oreo Donuts
I have wanted to bake up a batch of Baked Oreo Donuts for several years now. I finally decided to just go for it. These chocolate donuts are filled with Oreo cookie crumbs. Then they have a cream cheese frosting with crushed Oreo cookies on top. Yes, they are absolutely amazing. And, I wanted more, more more!

I found a recipe that looked good and decided to give it a go. I added some oreo cookie crumbs to the donuts as well as used a chocolate extract to bump up the flavor. The only thing I would suggest is to add additional powdered sugar to the icing so that it has more body and isn’t so thin. I almost did that when I was making the glaze, but went against my instincts. 🙁 Yes, the icing needs to be a little thicker so it sets up better, since it’s made with cream cheese instead of simply buttercream.
I took a couple of batches of the donuts to a “breakfast for dinner” potluck at our church. Most people cut the donuts in half and even still, every morsel was gone when I went to take the plate home. Everyone started drooling right away over these lovely donuts. I also took a batch of Apple Raisin Cinnamon Rolls. Those also were cleaned out extremely fast!
I recommend Baked Oreo Donuts for the holidays this year. They’ll be wonderful for a Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s brunch or breakfast. Your family will adore them and the whole batch will be gone before you blink your eyes.

Crush Oreo cookies with a rolling pin in a zip lock bag.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in center. Do Not Overbake or donuts will become tough.
Allow donuts to cool in pan about 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
