Description

Ingredients

• For the Chocolate Donuts:
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup milk (almond, skim, whole, reduced fat, or soy will all work)
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 4 ounces cream cheese, VERY soft
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, VERY soft
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, sifted, more as needed
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (almond, skim, whole, reduced fat, or soy will all work)
• 1 cup Oreo cookies, chopped, for decorating

Directions

• For the Chocolate Donuts:
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease a donut pan; set aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients, then gently pour them into the dry ones. Fold ingredients together until just combined.
• Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pan, and bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the donuts spring back when lightly pressed. Be careful not to over bake here!
• Allow doughnuts to cool a few minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
• In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using an electric handheld mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until completely smooth; about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the sifted confectioners sugar. Add in the milk. Once the milk is combined beat frosting on high-speed for 1-2 minutes.
• Assembly:
• Spread the frosting on top of each cooled donut then sprinkle each with a few teaspoons of chopped Oreo cookies. Serve at once! Donuts are best eaten the day they are made.
