Ingredients

Fluffy donuts

½ cup unsweetened Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar of choice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs beaten
¾ cup almond milk or milk
¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 teaspoons chocolate or vanilla extract
3 tablespoons butter melted

Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting w/Oreos

2 tablespoons butter softened
4 oz cream cheese
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk of choice or cream optional
Oreo crumbles for top of donuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a doughnut pan and set it aside.
Sift the cocoa powder into a large bowl, then add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and whisk all together. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, yogurt or sour cream, and chocolate or vanilla extract. Add in the melted butter and whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir them together until just combined.
Take a large ziplock, snip an inch hole in corner and spoon the batter into the bag, then pipe the donut dough into the greased doughnut pan filling each well about 3/4 of the way full. You can also use a spoon, or a pastry bag to do this as well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a tester inserted comes out clean.
Let the doughnuts cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the Oreo Vanilla Frosting.

Oreo Vanilla Frosting

Mix the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix in. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and mix in until well combined.
If frosting is too thick, add some milk or cream, a tablespoon at a time. If frosting becomes too thin, beat in a small amount of powdered sugar. Frost donuts.
Immediately sprinkle the Oreo crumbles on top, as many as you want.

Notes

Store in an air tight container at room temperature.
You could also use pre-made vanilla frosting out of the tub for these donuts if you're in a pinch or want a short-cut, but I love these donuts with this recipe!
