Expert Tips
- I always mix together the dry ingredients first. This way, it ensures the least amount of mixing time for soft, moist donuts.
- Sprinkle the crushed Oreos onto the donuts while the glaze is still wet to ensure that the Oreos stick and do not slide off.
- Be sure not to overtake these donuts. It’s ok if there are crumbs on the toothpick you inserted. They will continue to bake as they cool.
