Soft and fluffy baked donuts, stuffed with Oreo crumbs and topped with a thick cookies & cream glaze. Seriously, if none of my other donut recipes have convinced you that you need a donut pan – this will be the recipe that will change your mind! I used the same basic recipe as my Maple Cream Cheese Baked Donuts and my Funfetti Cake Batter Baked Donuts except these are sprinkle-less and instead, are jam packed with Oreo ‘s. These donuts start with cake mix – an easy start to any recipe! – buttermilk, eggs, butter and oreo’s. Most ingredients easily found somewhere in your cupboards. Dont have buttermilk? Pour 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a liquid measuring cup, add milk to reach the 1 cup mark. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes, then stir and then all you need to do is measure out 3/4 cup. Easy right? These guys bake for about 7 minutes, leaving you a soft, cakey donut. This glaze is a little thicker than what I would normally dunk a donut in, but I didn’t want the cookie crumbs to full right off the donuts. I love these homemade donuts, and so does my boyfriend! They’re easy to make, and don’t require a mixer! Yes, less clean-up to do! Although topping your glazed donuts with extra cookie crumbs is optional, I think it makes the donuts look just a little bit prettier! Do you have a tall glass of milk ready for these cookies & cream donuts?!
What You’ll Need
- Medium Bowl
- Small Bowl
- Whisk
- Donut Pan
- Wire Cooling Rack
- Large Ziplock Bag
- 2 & 3/4 cups cake mix - I like to use Duncan Hines Vanilla
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons butter - melted
- 2 eggs
- 4 Oreos - in crumbs using a food processor
- 2 cups icing sugar
- up to 1/4 cup heavy cream - depending on your desired consistency
- 5 Oreos - in crumbs using a food processor - be sure to save some of these crumbs to top your donuts with after if desired.
- Pea heat your oven to 425 degrees and grease your donuts pan - set aside.
- In a medium bowl add your cake mix, buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs.
- Mix with a whisk until just combined.
- Fold in your Oreo crumbs until evenly distributed - your batter will be thick.
- Pour your batter into a large Ziplock bag and cut a small corner to pipe into your donut pan - I find this the easiest and the least messiest way to fill your pan.
- Fill your donut pan about 2/3 of the way full.
- Bake for 7 - 9 minutes - or until golden brown, mine only took 7 minutes.
- Let cool in pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Be sure to let donuts completely cool before glazing.
- In your small bowl mix your icing sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream using a whisk until you have your desired consistency - I made this glaze a little thicker so it would stay put on top of the donuts.
- Fold in half the oreo crumbs.
- Dunk each donut into the icing and return to the wire cooling rack.
- This is when I sprinkled a few extra cookie crumbs on top - this ia optional.
- Continue until all donuts are glazed.
