kcalIngredients
- For the Donuts
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
12 Oreo cookies, crushed
- For the Frosting
1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 Oreo cookies, crushed
Directions
- For the Donuts
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each mold about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a donut comes out clean.
- Remove the donuts from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the Frosting
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter until smooth.
- Gradually add in the powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
- Once the donuts have cooled, dip them into the frosting or use a piping bag to pipe the frosting on top of each donut.
- Sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos, if desired.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter, as it can result in tough donuts.
- Use a piping bag to fill the donut molds for a cleaner and more precise result.
- Make sure the vegan butter is at room temperature before making the frosting to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

Alterations and Modifications
- For a different flavor, try replacing the Oreo cookies with a different type of cookie or candy, such as peanut butter cups or chocolate chips.
- For a lower-sugar version, use a sugar substitute like Stevia or erythritol.
- For a different texture, try replacing the almond milk with coconut milk or soy milk, which have a creamier texture.
- For a nut-free version, replace the almond milk with another type of non-dairy milk, such as oat milk, and omit the crushed almonds in the frosting.
- For a higher protein version, replace some of the all-purpose flour with a protein powder, such as whey protein or pea protein. Note that this may affect the texture and flavor of the donuts.
