Honestly, I do not typically allow myself to keep oreo’s in the house! I’ve heard that they are vegan and all 😉 but it puts my will power to the test.

Recently, I was craving oreos, but I also had been wanting to bake donuts. A chocolatey cookies and cream donut sounded amazing.

If you too love oreos or cookies and cream sweets, you will love these!

Instructions

Donuts

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set aside 2 greased donut pans (6 donuts each) *I like to use ghee to grease the pan

   
2. Add butter to a small saucepan and slowly melt. Once melted, set aside to cool.

   
3. In a medium bowl, combine and whisk the wet ingredients, cooled butter, buttermilk, egg and vanilla.

   
4. In a medium bowl, add the dry ingredients (except oreos), flour, cocoa, sugars, baking powder/soda, and salt.

   
5. Once combined, fold in half of the crushed oreos.

   
6. Add the donut batter to a piping bag. If you do not have one, it's ok! Take a gallon zip lock bag and cut off of one of the bottom corners.

   
7. Pipe the batter into the wells, half full to allow for rise. Bake 10-12 minutes (you can use the toothpick trick, and if it comes out clean, the donuts are done).

   
8. Transfer the donuts to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before adding icing.

   

Icing

1. With a mixer or electric hand mixer, beat butter, shortening, powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Then add, 1 tbsp. milk at a time until the icing can pour without being too thick.

   
2. Dip the cooled donut bottoms, one at a time and place on a wire rack.

   
3. With the remaining half crushed oreos, sprinkle on top of the freshly iced donuts and let set.
