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

Method
 

Donuts

  1. Preheat Oven and Pan:

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

  2. 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).

  3. 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

  1. 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).

  2. Top and Serve:

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