Pour the batter into a piping bag and fill each donut well ⅔ full.
Bake the donuts for 8 to 9 minutes until they spring back when touched.
Cool the donuts in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
Glaze
Stir the powdered sugar and heavy cream until there are no clumps.
Dip the tops of the donuts into the glaze and place them on a wire cooling rack with parchment paper underneath.
Sprinkle crushed Oreos onto the mini donuts before the glaze sets. Repeat the process with the same glaze ingredients for the full-size donuts, topping them with crushed Chips Ahoy cookies.
Notes
Store these donuts in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Buttermilk can be used in place of the almond milk and vinegar.
Use a regular donut pan for full-size donuts.
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.
