Ingredients
  

Donuts

  • 1 large egg
  • 100 g brown sugar (3.5 oz)
  • 40 g butter (1.4 oz), melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 120 ml milk (1/2 cup)
  • 130 g all-purpose flour (4.6 oz)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 30 g cocoa powder (1.1 oz), sifted
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Frosting

  • 100 g cream cheese (3.5 oz), at room temperature
  • 30 g butter (1.1 oz), softened
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100 g powdered sugar (3.5 oz)
  • 4-5 Oreo cookies crushed

Instructions
 

Donuts

  • Preheat Oven and Pan:

    Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a donut pan and put aside.
  • Mix Batter:

    In a big bowl, combine egg, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and milk with a whisk. In another bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cocoa, and salt. Pour dry mix into wet and fold until just incorporated (avoid overmixing).
  • Bake Donuts:

    Spoon batter into each donut cavity, making sure the middle is unfilled. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to rest in the pan for a few minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool fully.

Frosting

  • Make Frosting:

    To make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and softened butter until creamy. Mix in vanilla. Slowly add powdered sugar while beating until smooth (the mix gets thinner with more sugar).
  • Top and Serve:

    Top cooled donuts with frosting and scatter crushed Oreos over them. Pair with a glass of milk.
