I was in the mood for making a new donut, one that wasn’t too decadent but still hit the spot! π These oatmeal chocolate chip donuts are perfect, full of hearty oats and just enough chocolate to finish them of with some sweetness. They are only 3 smart points each and make a great dessert or even a grab and go breakfast..

- Fill donut pan and bake in oven for 16 minutes, let cool for 5 minutes then remove from pan using a knife to scrape around edges. Makes 6 donuts at 3sp on blue & green, 2SP on purple or 2pp each. Best stored in fridge. Optional, top with vanilla icing, you don't need much, I pipe 1 Tbsp out of a small zip lock bag and can get enough to cover all 6, wont add points for 1 donut but if you have 2 I would add a point for icing.

Hi There,
I’m wondering do you use a regular size muffin pan when you make these? Or a mini? Thank you π
Hi, these are donuts not muffins.. I use the 6 hole reg size donut pan π
Can you freeze the donuts
I have never froze them.. I want to say they would be ok, but I am not positive, they may become soggy when defrosted.. I should try it one time just so I know π
I made a bunch and froze some and they taste just as good:)
Awesome.. That’s good to know.. I have never froze them.. Thanks for sharing π
Did you just toast them to reheat?
Hi, you can re-heat them anyway really, or not at all.. toaster or microwave is fine
[…] Oatmeal Chocolate Chip DonutsΒ – 3 SmartPoints […]
Thanks for this recipe! Finally a Smart Points sweet treat with some “doable” points! Both my husband and I enjoyed these.
Awesome, glad to hear you both enjoyed them π
OMIGOODNESS!!!!!! I made these from the recipe on your fabulous android app and they are wonderful! I ‘needed’ a sweet fix and these totally fit the bill and I did not break the points bank! I am doing PP. I will make these again and again and again……you get the picture! THANK YOU!
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed them π (and will keep enjoying them hehe)
These look great! What kind of oats do you use?
Hi Amy, I use a Quaker baking oat which is similar to quick oats
[…] Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Doughnuts (Drizzle Me Skinny) […]
These look very tasty. I only have a mini donut pan (makes 12 mini donuts), I hope they turn out. Quick question would cow’s milk be an okay substitute for almond milk?
Yes regular milk is fine π shouldn’t affect the points overall. Hope the mini ones worked for you
Thanks. I’m going to make them tomorrow ?
Would it be possible to use these in a muffin tin? They look too delicious to wait for my donut tray to arrive!!
HI, sure I think they would be ok in a muffin tin, mini might best best π
I doubled this and it was delicious. you might want to add “quick oats” to the recipe, as I used regular ones (a little heavier) Thanks for real baked goods not made with mixes!
So glad you enjoyed them Eileen, I use Quaker baking oats, they are not instant quick oats
These are really good. I skipped the choc chips & used blueberries. Also didn’t need the frosting drizzle. Ended up 2 pts.
Thanks for the tips π glad you enjoyed them π
Do you use sweetened or unsweetened applesauce??
Thanks!
unsweetened
I need a sweet treat! I don’t have any applesauce in the house right now. Substitute???
Mashed banana, pumpkin, but the taste will change
Have you ever made them as a muffin?
No but I know others have and they should work out fine, I always suggest mini muffins if using one of my donut recipes as a muffin recipe
I may have missed the question, but what if you dont buy almond milk – will fat free cow’s milk work as well? I don’t buy buttermilk but know I can add lemon juice to regular milk to make a substitute. I just don’t use it enough to buy a container. Suggestions? Thank you.
Hi Joni, yes fat-free milk is fine to use
Is there a recipe for the icing?
Hi Barb, no, I just used a little from a container
Hi! Did you use unsweetened almond milk? I wasn’t sure which kind to buy. Thanks!
Hi, yes I always buy unsweetened but either is fine
