This Cake Mix Homemade Donut Recipe is delicious and very easy to make. They are moist and light milk chocolate donuts made simply from cake mix and topped with a cream glaze and crumbled Oreo Cookies.
Hello there my friends!! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. & I’m back here today to share with you one of my favorite things to make – Donuts! A couple of years ago I picked up a mini donut maker at Target on sale for about $20. I never thought I would use it as much as I do. It makes making donuts so incredibly simple. This time I decided to go outside my usual base donut recipe & change it up with these Oreo Cake Mix Donuts. They are moist & light milk chocolate donuts made simply from cake mix & topped with a cream glaze & crumbled Oreo Cookies. Perfection if you as me. You can’t go wrong with donuts & when you add Oreos – well…then I’m all in.
We have a pretty good donut shop here close to the house. The problem is they are usually cleaned out pretty quickly. But when I do get there on time I always pick the Oreo topped chocolate donuts.
My hubs tried to tell me that these are a dessert not a breakfast because they are made with cake mix & topped with frosting & Oreos. Well, he’s probably right – however, I am a firm believer in having cake for breakfast – especially on weekends. Life is short – why not!
- 1 dry milk chocolate cake mix
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 cup water
- *For the Glaze
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- *Topping
- 5-6 crumbled Oreo cookies
- 2 tbsp chocolate jimmies
- Preheat mini donut maker while you prepare your batter
- Combine the donut ingredients in a large bowl & whisk well until mostly smooth
- Once your donut maker is hot & ready spoon about 2 tbsp of batter into each donut well
- Close the lid & cook approx 5-6 minutes
- Remove & place on a wire rack to cool
- Continue with remaining batter
- Once donuts are cooked & cooled combine glaze ingredients in a small bowl & whisk until fully combined
- Dip each donut into the glaze to coat the top & return to the wire rack
- Immediately sprinkle with Oreo crumbles & chocolate jimmies before your glaze hardens
- Allow them to set before serving
- Enjoy!
