As an adult, you learn all about nutrition- fats, sugar, carbs, protein, calories... Important for a healthy lifestyle, but it sure makes doughnuts a lot less fun!

Growing up, doughnuts were an occasional treat and only when Dad was in charge of breakfast. Sugary. Sweet. Vanilla icing with sprinkles was always one of my top picks. I think I would have gladly eaten any doughnut set before me. Live and learn. Now, I am a bit pickier with my indulgences. There are still times when it is absolutely worth it, but only on rare occasions!

Until today- now, we can enjoy a glazed doughnut for breakfast and actually feel good about it! Sure, there's still some sugar, fat, and calories, but a lot less. There's also whole-grain oats, protein, and fiber. Major win!

Ingredients in Glazed Doughnut Baked Oatmeal

Old-Fashioned or Rolled Oats: This healthy whole-grain provides both fiber and protein.

Maple Syrup: For a natural sweetness. I also add some brown sugar.

Brown Sugar

Eggs: These help to bind all of the ingredients together.

Flour: The secret to my mush-free baked oatmeal! Flour plus baking powder brings this dish closer to a cake/muffin texture.

Baking Powder

Milk: Both dairy and dairy free varieties work well.

Butter

Applesauce or Yogurt: I use applesauce more often, but both work well.

Vanilla

Orange Juice

Cinnamon

Optional: Protein Powder

 

Can I add protein powder to baked oatmeal?

Absolutely! I usually do. If you are not going to pair the oatmeal with a protein (ie. eggs) than I would add some protein powder to help balance the carbs. With the added powder, you can also slightly reduce the flour.

  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 Tbsp. orange juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c. flour (I used oat)
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 c. milk (can use dairy free)
  • 2 c. old-fashioned or rolled oats, ground
  • Optional: protein powder

Glaze

  • 2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/8 tsp. cinnamon

Vanilla Drizzle

  • 1 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/3 c. powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla
  • 1+ tsp. milk or cream
Instructions
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the butter, applesauce, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, orange juice, eggs, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Carefully whisk in the milk.
  • In a small food processor, blend the oats into finer pieces. Then, stir in the oats. Next, pour into a greased doughnut pan, 9x13 baking dish or 12 lined-muffin cups. Bake for 20-30 minutes. (Hole in the center = less baking time)
  • In a small bowl, whisk the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. While still warm, dip the top of each doughnut into the glaze. Then, allow to cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk/cream until a thick glaze forms. Quickly drizzle or pipe over the doughnuts. (Mixture will thicken/harden quickly)
