Breakfast Desserts Donuts and Scones

These Baked Oreo Donuts feature a rich, chocolate donut, studded with Oreo cookies and baked to perfection. Topped with a sweet cream cheese glaze and sprinkled with crumbled cookies, these donuts make the best breakfast or dessert!

So let’s talk about Oreo cookies today, shall we?

I’d like to know, is it your favorite cookie? Do you buy them just to dunk them in some milk?

If I’m being honest, Oreos are not my favorite, though I do like them! Sugar cookies, followed by chocolate chip cookies, rank in my top two.

But, I love Oreo or cookies ‘n cream flavored ANYTHING! Ice cream, pancakes, pies, cakes, cupcakes, you name it. Cookies ‘n cream is my go-to dessert of choice when it’s available.

And flavored Oreos. You know, the red velvet ones, pumpkin spice, candy corn, peanut butter ones, etc. I have to try them ALL because I just love those flavors.

But, you really can’t beat the classic, original, cookies and cream flavored Oreos. And since I do love those in just about anything, I decided to whip them up into a donut. I know, not very original, but trust me, they’re soooo good!

That’s right…you can have these donuts for breakfast. Why not, right? A little chocolate sounds like a great way to start the day if you ask me. But, if dessert is more your style, these were made for ending the night with a little sweet treat.

And like most of my recipes, these Baked Oreo Donuts are a breeze to whip up! You can have these prepped, baked, and ready to be devoured in no tie. And trust me when I say that you will be devouring these ALL. They’re that good, friends.

What makes these donuts extra special (besides the chocolate and Oreos, of course) is the cream cheese frosting. It adds the perfect amount of sweetness on top of the chocolate donut. And those Oreo cookie crumbs? Don’t skip those. They make these donuts the best.

Some tips to remember:

Be careful not to overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined. You want a light and fluffy donut texture, not a dense and chewy one.
To make filling the donut pan easier, spoon the batter into a pastry bag or large ziploc bag and snip the tip. Then, squeeze and pipe into the pan. Much easier than using a spoon!

So if you’re looking to add a little sweetness to your breakfast or to make dessert even better, these Baked Oreo Donuts were made for you!
