Oreo Doughnuts and Chips Ahoy Doughnuts

These Oreo doughnuts and Chips Ahoy dougnuts are two easy, gluten-free donut recipes that combine delicious, homemade baked donuts with a sweet glaze and crushed Oreos or Chips Ahoy cookies.

This Chips Ahoy and Oreo donuts are so sweet and delicious, and they're totally gluten-free, too! I'm Italian, and I have a major sweet tooth, so years ago, when I learned I couldn't eat gluten, I was bummed.

I'm nothing if not persistent, so I set out to learn how to make the best gluten-free desserts. Years later, here I am, whipping up sweet treats that even people with no gluten sensitivities love. You're going to love these donuts, too!

Ingredients

• Gluten-Free Flour: 1:1 gluten-free flour is used just like regular flour and removes the need for measuring added ingredients to create the right texture. I prefer Bob's Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free flour.
• Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar transforms almond milk into plant-based buttermilk for more tender donuts.
• Vanilla Extract: I prefer Singing Dog vanilla for its quality, purity, and deep vanilla flavor.
• Brown Sugar: Brown sugar adds a more complex flavor to the chocolate doughnuts used for the Chips Ahoy doughnuts.
• Plant Cream: Plant cream is combined with powdered sugar to create a dairy-free glaze for the donuts.
• Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder gives the Chips Ahoy donuts a chocolate flavor perfect with the crushed cookies on top.
• Gluten-Free Oreo and Chips Ahoy Cookies: Gluten-free Golden Oreos and gluten-free Chips Ahoy cookies are crushed and sprinkled on top of the donuts while the glaze is still wet to create a sweet, delicious crunch.

See the recipe card at the end of the post for a full list of ingredients and their exact amounts.

Variations

• Use Buttermilk: If you don't have dietary restrictions, use buttermilk to equal the amount of almond milk and apple cider vinegar.
• Use Regular Flour: Again, you can use regular flour if you don't have dietary restrictions.
• Go Full Size: The Oreo doughnuts are mini donuts, but you can use a regular donut pan for full-size donuts.

What to Serve with Chips Ahoy and Oreo Doughnuts

You can also make these donuts part of a larger breakfast or brunch by serving them alongside savory options like egg muffins, air fryer ham and egg waffle sandwiches, or chicken and egg breakfast casserole.

Tips

• Even though donut pans are nonstick, you should still coat them with a bit of coconut oil to be absolutely sure you can get them out.
• Use a piping bag to add the batter to the donut pans easily.
• It's essential to remove the donuts as soon as they spring back. You don't want to overbake them and make them tough.
• Place your freshly glazed donuts on a wire rack with parchment paper underneath for less mess.
