So, I couldn’t stop after the pumpkin doughnuts.
You know I can’t stop at just one when I make something that tickles my fancy. The wheels got turning yesterday and before I knew it, the most insane doughnut appeared before my eyes.
This is what you get when you combine a delicious whole wheat doughnut + chocolate chips + mouth-watering cookie dough glaze…
Key words being: Cookie Dough Glaze!

Chocolate Chip Whole Wheat Doughnuts
If chocolate chip cookies were in doughnut form, these are the ones. The cookie dough glaze is like raw cookie dough batter, only silkier, dreamier, more tempting. I can imagine these being served for a birthday dessert because they are a luxurious and rich dessert to celebrate! Be sure to make the cookie dough glaze to go with it (see below)…you won’t be sorry!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup Earth Balance, melted
- 3 tbsp applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour (or all purpose)
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar (or white sugar)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- Cookie Dough Glaze (see below)
1. Preheat oven to 350F and grease doughnut pans with Earth Balance. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (milk, Earth Balance, applesauce, vanilla, vinegar). Sift in the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
3. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Bake for 12 minutes or until doughnuts gently spring back when touched.
5. Meanwhile prepare the cookie dough glaze (below). Remove the doughnut pan from oven and cool in pan for 10 minutes. With a butter knife, carefully remove the doughnuts and place on cooling rack for another 10 minutes.
6. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and serve immediately. Doughnuts keep for 2-3 days. I suggest not putting the glaze on until just before serving.

While the whole wheat doughnuts were baking, I whipped up this easy cookie dough glaze that is so mouth-watering I almost forgot about the doughnuts in the oven.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Glaze
Like raw cookie dough in a glaze form. My goal for this glaze was to take my beloved raw cookie dough and thin it out, while making it even more luxurious and silky at the same time. The outcome was so mouth-watering, I almost jumped for joy when I tasted it.
Inspired by How Sweet It Is and Chocolate Covered Katie.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup cashew butter
- 2 tbsp Earth Balance, melted
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar (or just use white sugar)
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, but thickens it up a bit)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
1. Add all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth. Makes 1 cup.

The outcome = chocolate chip cookies + cookie dough in doughnut form. Definitely a winner!!
Stick a few candles in there and you have yourself a fun birthday dessert. 
Eric loved these doughnuts so much he jokingly suggested I sell the recipe to Tim Horton’s or Dunkin Donuts. ;) I’m not sure if they could handle all this vegan goodness, but I know you guys can!
Blendtec Giveaway Winner!
A huge congratulations to Kayla! You are the lucky random winner of the amazing Blendtec machine.
Kayla wrote, "Oh my. So many comments already! But I really need a blender as I can’t afford one and I love the taste of green monsters! I want to have them everyday it’s just a matter of getting a blender for myself.."
I have emailed Kayla this morning to collect information and I will ship this out ASAP. Thanks to everyone for participating and making this the biggest giveaway ever on Oh She Glows!
omg I’ve never wanted to buy a doughnut mold so badly…but I’m afraid that it would become one of THOSE kitchen gadgets that just takes up space and I don’t end up using again.
Another awesome recipe. I have been following your blog for a couple of months now and I absolutely love it. Do you have any plans to release a cookbook, because I would buy it in a heartbeat. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Angie! I do have a goal of writing my first cookbook..thanks for the encouragement! :)
Drooling.
I love incorporating any kind of protein into my baked treats! Especially with a nut butter. I can see how this would be really creamy and good b/c cashew flavor hides pretty well in most dishes (unlike PB), and make this cookie dough flavor! Genius. :)
I am just suddenly very hungry…and in the baking mood ;) bwaha :3 bookmarked these!!

I have 8 months until my bday, I don’t think I can wait for that! ;)
Yummy! All these doughnut recipes are reminding me that I’ve been wanting a doughnut pan for awhile now but trying to ignore it, haha!
I really wish you had a bakery near me so I could try one of those without having to make them myself ;) Have a great day!
Awwwwyeahhh, donut time!!! <3
iiiiiii neeeeeeed a dooooooughnuuuuutttttt pppppaaaaaannnnnnn. Waaaaaaaaaah.
I never in a million years would have thought of chocolate chip COOKIE DOUGH donuts! You’re creativity is super inspiring Angela :)
“My goal for this glaze was to take my beloved raw cookie dough and thin it out, while making it even more luxurious and silky at the same time”–
Wow, it looks like you succeeded. It looks stellar and both Katie and Jessica are awesome cooks, too! I would love to try that glaze. Frosting and I have a special relationship :)
Oh, and chocolate donuts…yes, chocolate and I have a special relationship, too!
I don’t think Dunkin’ Donuts could handle it! But I sure can! Yum Yum Yum :)
My birthday was last month! So can we just make the creation of the doughnuts themselves the reason to celebrate??? The pumpkin ones already had me drooling but these look fan-flipping-amazing! Congrats to Kayla! My mom adores her blendtec :D
of course!
Oh my…. that looks divine! Hopefully one day there would be enough demand for the fast food places to adopt healthier options.
I think I died and went to heaven…these look awesome!
I nearly choked on my almond butter and pb sandwich while drooling over the images. This is going to the front of my ‘must make now!” recipe folder.
I’m already on amazon looking at donut pans.
And wait a sec, they’re donut pans that I won’t even be able to use during the next year because of college.
You had me under a donut spell :)
I am speechless with this recipe! YUM well done :)
Could you sub the cashew butter for another type of nut butter?
OMG these look uh-may-zing. Thank you for sharing this doughnut journey with us ;)
I don’t have enough self control to make these donuts!! They look great!!!
I am in LOVE with your website!!! Our family is new to the vegan diet & we were getting frustrated by the numerous cookbooks we tried! We have LOVED every recipe we’ve made of yours! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Hey!!! These look great, I had a question, any ideas on how they would turn out if I used a regular cupcake pan? Or substituted sugar with splenda? THANKS!
Not at all related to this post, but still good: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/21/magazine/do-you-suffer-from-decision-fatigue.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all%3Fsrc%3Dtp&smid=fb-share
Did you get paid for your Blendtec review?
ok Seriously I need to get on this and start making donuts!
This may be the most delicious looking recipe on your blog…ever. And that’s saying something because I’m absolutely obsessed with your no bake date squares! :D
Can I just tell you that I decided to make your choc chip cookie dough balls the other day for my kiddies. They were having a playdate with two other little ones and had been running in and out of the house all afternoon. I loved how quick and easy they were to make, a good thing, I found out. I let each of the kids try one and they LOVED them! I rolled the rest and put them on a baking sheet intending to put them in the freezer. Went to change laundry and when I came into the kitchen the pan was empty! How can I be mad at a bunch of little kids stealing a healthy treat? They were a hit and the other mom asked for the recipe too!
Thanks for giving me healthy snack ideas, now I just need to plant my own cashew tree in the backyard!
Hi Angela, can you suggest a replacement for the whole wheat pastry flour? I’m intolerant to wheat but I definitely want to make these donuts and the pumpkin ones! I <3 pumpkin.
Where can I grab a donut pan in the Halton area? I drooled over yours in yesterday's post!
Kayla – congrats! You'll give that blender a great home!
Oh dear. You’ve done it now, haven’t you? Each dessert is more decadent than the last…! This looks SO darned tasty! However… I will hold off on making it for the moment. Need a mini donut pan! That, and, thanks to your reply on my comment on your cinnamon sugar spiced donuts post, I think I’m going to try to make some cinnamon sugar soft pretzels… using the soft pretzel base from your itty bitty pumpkin garlic knots… (Must try those while I’m at it. I love garlic!)
I love love love how you manage to create desserts that are outstandingly delicious but way better [health-wise on top of taste-wise] to anything from a package!
Congrats to Kayla for winning that awesome blender! Hope she can enjoy green monsters on a regular basis, now. :)
You always have the cutest pictures and ideas~!
These look amazing! I’ve been thinking about getting a donut pan for a while now, but after seeing the pumpkin donuts, and now these, I MUST have one!
Hi Angela,
Every day I wait for the email that comes from you!! Your recipes are all amazing, your conversation is wonderful and your pictures are divine! and you are gorgeous too!
I was wondering if you might be able to provide nutritional data on the recipes you post. Unfortunately, I do not have the time for the daily exercise that you do so I have to think 10 times before making one of your lucious recipes.
Many thanks — for everything.
Fran
I’m trying to think of an excuse to make these, I have a better shot of an excuse with the pumpkins ones maybe!
YuM!
*thud*
*being revived*
Must. Make. These!
Oh my, I think you just convinced me to buy a doughnut pan! Any good brands you suggest?
Well, now I really do need to get a doughnut pan, don’t I?
I ordered two doughnut pans yesterday from Golda’s Kitchen and they are out for delivery today. Now I have to try all the donut recipes on Oh She Glows… oh and give the second pan to my friend who told me about Oh She Glows!
You’ve just renewed my love for doughnuts! I can never repay you enough! :)
I love anything with chocolate chip cookie dough in it :)
yikes these look so good!
My husband insists that everything i bake now be in ‘donut’ shape since I purchased these baking pans. Can’t wait to try these
Once again, I’m drooling.
I just made these, but modified slightly. I added 1/2c cacao powder in place of 1/4c of flour, since the bf loves the chocolate glazed donuts from timmies. Oh, and I don’t have pans, but in a previous donut post they seemed to turn out okay without pans….well they’re more like giant soft glazed cookies. I’m sure they still taste good! I need to get some of those pans!
Wow, these look so decadent! I might have to save this recipe for a special occasion!
Hi – dumb question – but don’t chocolate chips often have milk or milk products in them? Or are some brands vegan or less processed and others not?
Thank you Angela for mentioning Moe’s at Universal Orlando on your blog!!! I had dinner there and it was reallly good. Many vegetarian options.
