These Oreo donuts are super fluffy baked donuts made with black cocoa and Oreo crumbs. The donuts are topped with a chocolate Oreo glaze. They are super easy to make.
These baked Oreo doughnuts are better than regular chocolate donuts because of the crushed Oreo cookies in the donuts and in the glaze. Make these with your kids or for your favorite Oreo lovers. This is the best baked donut recipe!

Ingredient Notes
Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Eggs- Pull the large eggs out 2 hours before baking to reach room temperature.
- Unsalted butter- It needs to be melted and cooled.
- Chocolate chips- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips. I don't recommend milk chocolate chips, because it will be too sweet.
- Buttermilk- you can also use full fat sour cream or greek yogurt. Pull this out 2 hours before baking to reach room temperature.
- Oreos- I recommend making the Oreo crushed Oreos in a food processor. They can be made with a Ziplock bag and rolling pin instead. Save Oreo pieces for decorating.
Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake these donuts. This recipe doesn't need an electric mixer!
STEP 1: Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, black cocoa powder, crushed Oreos, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
STEP 2: Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, vanilla extract, white sugar, buttermilk, and melted butter.
STEP 3: Pour. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Use a whisk to mix until just combined. Then, scoop the batter into a piping bag. I used this 18-inch piping bag to fit it all in.
STEP 4: Bake. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan. It should fill ⅔rds full. Bake for 10-15 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the donuts sit in the hot pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
STEP 5: Make the glaze. In a microwaveable small bowl, pour in the chocolate chips and milk. Heat in the microwave for 20 second intervals and stir until they it is combined.
Next, add the Oreo crumbs and the extra 3 Tablespoons of milk and mix until is smooth.
STEP 6: Dunk. Dunk the tops of the donuts into the glaze and top doughnut with extra Oreo cookie pieces. Let it dry on a cooling rack.
Expert Baking Tips
- Flour- Make sure the flour is spooned and leveled. If you stick the measuring cup directly into the flour, it will compact the flour. Compacted flour can cause the donuts to be dry.
- Make sure to spray the donut pans with baking nonstick spray first.
- When you are piping the donut batter into the pan, it can be still a little uneven. To prevent this, use your finger to smooth out the batter like my picture above.
- Place a cookie sheet under the wire rack to catch any glaze that drips off.
