Maple bacon donuts with crumbled oreos on top

There has been a serious maple bacon donut craze with many bakeries making them, and you can see why! They have a sweet maple glaze with salty bacon flavors, plus crumbled oreos for good measure.

But it gets better than that. These guys are baked instead of deep fried, so you get fewer calories without sacrificing any of that soft, bakery taste we all love. The best part? They’re easy to make in a half-hour without the complications of yeasted dough.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make the donuts:

  • Flour: All-purpose flour recommended
  • Brown sugar: For flavor, and you can substitute granulated sugar in a pinch
  • Baking powder and baking soda: for leavening the dough
  • Nutmeg: This is grated nutmeg for added flavoring.
  • Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt is ideal, but use what you have on hand
  • Egg
  • Butter: Unsalted butter if possible (since the bacon itself is salty)
  • Milk: Whole milk recommended
  • Vanilla extract: For flavor

For the glaze, you’ll need maple syrup and powdered sugar with water. For the topping, you’ll need cooked crumbled bacon and crumbled oreo cookies.

How to Make Maple Bacon Donuts

To make the dough, combine the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Then, in a second bowl beat the egg, milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla together. Next, mix the wet and dry ingredients together to form a batter.

Simply spoon or pipe the batter into a donut pan and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F until puffy and golden. While they’re baking, you can make the glaze and toppings.

Mix the maple syrup and powdered sugar together with cold water in a bowl until it reaches the consistency of honey. For the bacon, cook it until crispy and then crumble into pieces. For the final assembly, dip the cooled donuts in the glaze to coat, and then sprinkle the bacon and oreos on top.
