vegan oreo donuts

When we found out that Oreo cookies were vegan, honestly we couldn’t believe it. Once we double checked our source we were in complete shock, but the best kind of shock. We both love Oreo cookies, they are the perfect guilty pleasure. They are the perfect weekend movie night treat, plus you can bake with them, so not only can you enjoy them as-is but you can make so many amazing desserts with them. Enter Vegan Oreo Donuts.

I know, I know, we put everyone’s two favourite things into one; Oreo cookies and donuts. Normally we aren’t big fans of baked donuts, however these donuts are perfectly soft and moist, yet has the right amount of density to almost create a brownie texture. By separating the cookies from cream, these donuts are like deconstructed Oreo cookies, but better. Plus adding an extra bit of cookie crumbs atop the iced donuts is like the cherry on top.

These donuts are surprisingly easy to make, which essentially makes them the perfect dessert. The only downside is these things can’t be savoured. Once you take a bite it will be almost impossible to stop eating them until they are gone. They are such a crowd-pleasure, be sure to double the amount you think you need. Seriously, we ate like three each in one sitting.
