Oatmeal chocolate chip donuts

These oatmeal chocolate chip donuts manage to feel wholesome and indulgent at the exact same time — a rare achievement in baking. The oats add a hearty chew and a subtle nutty flavor that makes these donuts more interesting than a plain cakey donut, and the chocolate chips add just enough sweetness to make them feel like a real treat. Baked instead of fried, they’re lighter than a classic donut but still completely satisfying. Make them for a weekend breakfast or afternoon snack and they’ll be gone before you know it.

• Swap: Use quick oats rather than rolled oats for a smoother batter that still bakes up with great oat texture.
• Make-ahead: Bake the donuts a day ahead; glaze or dust with cinnamon sugar the morning of serving.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
• Variation: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter and dip in a cinnamon glaze for an oatmeal cookie-inspired donut.
• Serving: Serve alongside a strong cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk — the combination is as classic as it gets.

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 off with some sweetness. They are only 82 calories each, 2-3PP if following WW. They make a great dessert or even a grab-and-go breakfast.

Ingredients used

• Oats
• Flour
• Brown sugar
• Baking powder
• Cinnamon
• Apple sauce
• Almond milk
• Vanilla
• Mini chocolate chips
• Icing *optional

For the oats, I usually use Quaker large flake oats however quick oats will work just as well.

You can substitute the almond milk for regular milk if necessary.

For the icing, I sometimes buy the container of Betty Crocker icing, or you can easily make a small amount using a little icing sugar (a.k.a confectionary sugar) and milk. If I do use icing you really don’t need much, just a little drizzle will really sweeten up these donuts.
