Can I bake these Oreo Doughnuts instead of frying?

Absolutely! Pour the batter into a greased doughnut pan and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. They won't get quite as crispy, but you'll still get all that delicious Oreo flavor. Just remember - no hot oil means no waiting for them to cool before devouring!

What if my doughnuts absorb too much oil?

First, make sure your oil is at the right temperature (350°F is key!). If they still seem greasy, let them drain longer on paper towels - I flip mine halfway through. Sometimes I even pat the tops gently with another paper towel. And don't skip that initial 1-minute rest before eating - it makes all the difference!

Can I use Oreo crumbs instead of crushing whole cookies?

You sure can! About 1 cup of Oreo crumbs equals 10 whole cookies. I've done this when I was in a hurry, though I swear the texture is slightly better when you crush them fresh. The pre-crumbed ones tend to be more powdery, while hand-crushed have those lovely little cookie chunks throughout.

How do I know when the oil is hot enough?

No thermometer? No problem! Drop a tiny bit of batter in - if it immediately sizzles and floats to the top, you're good to go. If it sinks, wait a bit longer. If it browns too fast or smokes, your oil's too hot. I keep my burner at medium heat and adjust as needed - it's more art than science sometimes!
