How to Make Oreo Muffins

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and then fold in the crushed Oreos until they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 4: Fill muffin liners with the batter. Bake at 425F for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F for 10-15 minutes more.
Expert Baking Tips
- Weigh your flour instead of using measuring cups! Using a digital scale is much more precise.
- To crush the Oreos without getting your hands dirty, place them in a plastic bag and tap on them with a rolling pin.
- Don't over-mix the batter! Fold the ingredients together until they are just combined to help make sure your muffins turn out nice and fluffy.
- Start the bake at a higher temperature for the first few minutes to give them tall bakery-style muffin tops.
Common Questions
Slightly thick batter is normal and what it's supposed to look and feel like! Once baked, the muffins will be nice and fluffy.
No - mix the batter and bake right away.
This could be because they were overbaked or there was too much flour in the batter. Make sure to check the muffins and take them out as soon as a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Also, make sure to weigh the flour rather than using measuring cups.
Any kind of Oreo will work. Use regular or double stuf Oreos for the classic cookies and cream taste.
Storage
Room Temperature
Store cooled Oreo muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Freezing Instructions
Once the muffins have completely cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying!
