Oreo lovers this right here is a dream come true!
I can’t wait for you to try these Oreo doughnuts; they’re baked in the oven as opposed to being fried.
Unlike traditional donut recipes, there’s no yeast in this one. So the donuts have more of a cakey texture rather than being bread-like.
There’s no kneading or resting time which makes this recipe super simple and a great introduction to making doughnuts.

Whether you call them donuts or doughnuts, this Oreo flavoured treat is so addictive. Technically, doughnuts is the original spelling in the UK but lately donuts have become a popular choice.
I’m a huge fan of Oreos, I love them a bit too much! Especially my 3 ingredient Oreo mousse, 2 ingredient Oreo mug cake and this easy Oreo waffle recipe. If you have spare Oreos left over, then you have to make these two desserts.
Recipe Ingredients
Below are the ingredients needed for this Oreo donut recipe:
- Plain Flour: Salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda are added to plain flour.
- Cocoa Powder: This is my favourite cocoa powder! It’s dark, rich and adds an unmissable flavour to the Oreo doughnuts (avoid using cheap cocoa powder, you will not get the same intense flavour).
- Light Brown Sugar: This adds moistness and sweetness to the donuts.
- Eggs: Use eggs at room temperature for best results.
- Milk: I used full fat milk.
- Butter: You need melted butter for the dough and approximately a tablespoon extra to grease the baking tin.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a delicious flavour to the donut (this is optional).
- Oreos: Use any Oreo flavour for this donut recipe, I went with traditional cookies and cream.
