I was in the mood for making a new donut, one that wasn’t too decadent but still hit the spot! 🙂 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..

Serves: 6
3sp or 2pp each
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup oats

- ½ cup almond milk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 6 hole donut pan.
- In a small bowl mix all of your dry ingredients together.

- 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 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 🙂
Hi, these are donuts not muffins.. I use the 6 hole reg size donut pan 🙂
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 😉
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 🙂
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 Donuts – 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 🙂
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 🙂 (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

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 🙂 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 🙂
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 🙂 glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Do you use sweetened or unsweetened applesauce??
Thanks!
unsweetened
