Baked Vanilla Buttermilk Donuts with Maple Glaze

Baked vanilla buttermilk donuts, with a maple glaze and topped with crushed Waffles & Syrup Oreo Cookies.

Breakfast of champions here!  I mean….just think of all the things you can do while you are on a sugar high after eating these donuts, before you crash and burn!!  And if Nabisco did not want you to eat cookies for breakfast, then they would have never made this Waffles & Syrup variety Oreo cookie:

You need a donut pan to make these donuts.  But don’t worry…the pans are super cheap.  You can buy them online or at stores like Michael’s, Hobby Lobby, Target, etc.

Baked Vanilla Buttermilk Donuts with Maple Glaze

Print Recipe
Serves: 12 Cooking Time: 9-minutes

Ingredients

  • DONUT BATTER:
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • MAPLE GLAZE:
  • 1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 cup crushed Waffles & Syrup Oreo Cookies

Instructions

1

DONUTS: Preheat oven to 425-degrees. Spray two donut pans generously with baking spray. Set aside.

2

In a large mixing bowl, add your melted and cooled butter, oil, white sugar and brown sugar. Whisk until incorporated. Add one egg to the mixture and whisk the egg in completely, before adding the second egg. Whisk the second egg completely into the mixture and add the vanilla extract.

3

In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir half of the dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture and mix until combined.

4

Add the entire cup of buttermilk to the butter-sugar mixture and mix the buttermilk thoroughly into the batter. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the batter and mix until all ingredients are incorporated thoroughly.

5

Pour batter into a large ziplock bag and snip off a corner of the bag. Pipe the donut batter into the donut pan, filling the donut cavity with batter. I filled my cavities all the way to the top of the pan. Continue piping the remaining batter into the second donut pan.

6

Bake donuts one pan at a time in a 425-degree oven for 9-minutes. Remove donuts from the oven and immediately remove the donuts from the pan. Transfer donuts onto a wire rack to cool. Continue the same process with the second pan of donuts.

7

If you only have one donut pan, then allow the donut pan to cool fully before filling with batter.

8

MAPLE GLAZE: While donuts are cooling on the wire rack, prepare your glaze. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a bowl in the microwave. Add the powdered sugar, hot water and maple extract to the hot, melted butter. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated and glaze is smooth. Dunk the tops of the cooled donuts in the bowl of glaze and set back on wire rack. Immediately top with your desired topping.

9

TOPPING: I crushed one cup of Waffles & Syrup Oreo Cookies and topped my donuts with the crushed cookies. You can leave the donuts plain or add sprinkles too.

10

Allow donuts to cool and set completely before storing.

Notes

Store donuts in an airtight container at room temperature. Donuts are always the best eaten the day they are made, but donuts will stay fresh for 3-4 days.

XOXO,

Kelly

    I can see that reading your blog is going to be very dangerous-just like VooDoo donuts is. I am grateful I live about 1/2 hour away. I have heard those Oreos are very good. But I think on top of donuts they would be even better!
