FULL RECIPE:

Ingredients

For the Donuts:

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup granulated sugar
0.25 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.25 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
0.25 cup vegetable oil
0.75 cup oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
0.5 cup crushed vegan Oreo cookies
0.25 cup vegan chocolate chips

For the Glaze:

0.75 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons plant-based butter
2 tablespoons oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
Additional crushed vegan Oreo cookies for topping

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a donut pan with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and oat milk until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the donuts remain tender.
Incorporate Mix-ins: Fold in the crushed vegan Oreo cookies and vegan chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
Fill the Donut Pan: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a donut comes out clean.
Cool the Donuts: Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the plant-based butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and oat milk until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
Glaze the Donuts: Once the donuts are fully cooled, dip the tops into the glaze, letting any excess drip off. Place them back on the wire rack and sprinkle with additional crushed Oreo cookies if desired.
Set and Serve: Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy your delicious vegan Oreo donuts!

Why You’ll Love These Vegan Oreo Donuts

If you’re a fan of Oreos and donuts, this vegan Oreo donut recipe is the ultimate treat. These donuts are soft, cakey, and packed with the rich flavors of chocolate and vanilla, perfectly complemented by a creamy dairy-free glaze and crunchy Oreo crumbles. Best of all, they’re completely plant-based, meaning no dairy, no eggs, and no compromise on taste or texture. Unlike traditional fried donuts, these are baked, making them easier to prepare and a little lighter while still delivering a rich, indulgent flavor. Whether you’re making them for a weekend treat, a party, or just to satisfy a sweet craving, these vegan Oreo donuts are guaranteed to be a hit!

The Perfect Texture and Flavor Combination

Vegan Oreo donuts have the perfect balance of textures—soft and fluffy on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and topped with a luscious glaze. The chocolatey base is deep and rich, thanks to high-quality cocoa powder and dairy-free milk. The vanilla-infused glaze brings a creamy contrast, and the crushed Oreo topping adds the perfect crunch. For an even richer taste, you can mix Oreo crumbles into the batter itself, ensuring every bite is packed with cookies and cream goodness. The balance of chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of sweetness makes these donuts irresistible.

Key Ingredients for the Best Vegan Oreo Donuts

The secret to achieving the perfect texture and flavor in these donuts comes down to a few key plant-based ingredients:

All-Purpose Flour – The foundation for a soft, tender donut. A gluten-free blend can be used for a gluten-free option.
Cocoa Powder – A high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder gives the donuts their rich chocolate flavor.
Dairy-Free Milk – Almond, oat, or soy milk works best to keep the donuts moist and fluffy.
Apple Cider Vinegar – Combined with plant-based milk, this creates a vegan “buttermilk” for extra tenderness.
Baking Powder & Baking Soda – These leavening agents help the donuts rise and stay light.
Coconut Oil or Vegan Butter – Adds moisture and richness without the need for dairy.
Crushed Oreos – The star ingredient! These add crunch, flavor, and the signature cookies-and-cream experience.

Healthier Than Store-Bought Donuts

While these donuts are still a dessert, they offer a better alternative to store-bought or fried options:

Baked, Not Fried – Less oil and no deep frying make them lighter and easier to digest.
Dairy-Free & Egg-Free – Ideal for those with dairy allergies or following a plant-based diet.
Customizable Sweetness – You can control the level of sugar in both the donut base and glaze.

How to Store Vegan Oreo Donuts

To keep your donuts fresh and delicious, follow these simple storage tips:

Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Refrigeration: If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to 5 days. Allow them to come to room temperature before eating for the best texture.
Freezing: These donuts freeze well! Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.

Fun Ways to Customize Your Vegan Oreo Donuts

Want to make these donuts even more exciting? Here are some easy variations and add-ons:

Double Chocolate: Mix extra crushed Oreos into the batter for a more intense cookies-and-cream flavor.
Peanut Butter Oreo Donuts: Drizzle with melted peanut butter before adding the crushed Oreos.
Mint Oreo Version: Add a drop of peppermint extract to the glaze for a minty twist.
Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free option.
Extra Crunch: Sprinkle extra cookie crumbs on top right before serving for extra texture.

Best Pairings for Vegan Oreo Donuts

These donuts are delicious on their own, but pairing them with a complementary drink or topping can elevate the experience:

Coffee or Espresso: The bitterness of coffee balances the sweetness of the donuts.
Dairy-Free Milk: A classic pairing, especially with oat or almond milk.
Vegan Ice Cream: Transform them into an indulgent dessert by serving with a scoop of cookies-and-cream dairy-free ice cream.
Hot Chocolate: Perfect for chilly days when you want something extra cozy.

Conclusion

Vegan Oreo donuts are the perfect fusion of a classic chocolate donut and the irresistible taste of Oreos—all while being completely plant-based. With a soft, moist texture, a creamy glaze, and crunchy cookie crumbles, they’re an indulgence worth making. Plus, they’re baked instead of fried, making them a slightly healthier yet equally satisfying treat. Whether you enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or party treat, these donuts will be a favorite for vegans and non-vegans alike!
