Oreo Muffins

This recipe for Oreo muffins is a dangerous, dangerous thing for me to make, because I will admit right now that I have zero self control when it comes to having Oreos in the house, and I’ll warn you now that the recipe only calls for 15 Oreos.

Meaning that there will be more than half a package of Oreos lurking around after this recipe is over.  As long as you are able to grapple with that, go ahead and read on…in my case, I literally had to gift my remaining Oreos to someone in order to save myself from myself.

Oreo-wise.  But it was all worth it in the end, because I came out the other side with these crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, stuffed with chunks of Oreo, drizzled with vanilla glaze muffins.  Let’s make them!

It's a muffin! It's a cupcake! It's an easy recipe for Oreo Muffins! Turn your favorite cookie into your new favorite muffin. Click to TweetI agonized for a little while about whether to name this recipe Oreo Muffins or Oreo cupcakes, because let’s face it: they are DESSERT.  And for me, muffin always means something vaguely main course or side dish-like.

But they just look so muffin-like that I made the executive decision to call them muffins.  These are the kind of discussions that go on in my kitchen.

Here’s how you make Oreo muffins!

So!  You need a package of Oreos, and you need to take 15 of them and break them up into little Oreo chunks.  (Before you do this, eat an Oreo or two just to make sure they still taste like Oreos.  Quality control.  It’s important.)

I find that the easiest way to make Oreo chunks is to put them in a ziplock bag, put the ziplock bag on dish towel on your counter to soften the blows, and then to whack them a few times with a meat tenderizer (or a can of soup, if you don’t have a meat tenderizer handy).

Once you have your Oreo chunks all ready to go, you are going to whip up a pretty basic muffin batter, and once that is all ready, gently mix in the Oreo pieces.

I find this is easiest to do with my hands, at least at the end of the mixing, just to make sure you don’t break them any further.  You do want your muffins to come out with nice recognizable chunks of Oreo in them.

Bake them up until a toothpick comes out clean, and then cool them completely on a cooling rack before drizzling them with the glaze.

When it’s time to eat the muffins (and it will seem like an eternity, trust me) you’ll find that the outside is crispy and crunchy and the inside is tender and cake-like, which is my personal favorite combo when it comes to muffins.

And hey, if you had a little white chocolate vanilla ice cream on the side with your muffin, I won’t tell anyone.

It’s a muffin! It’s a cupcake! It’s an easy recipe for Oreo Muffins! Turn your favorite cookie into your new favorite muffin.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup chilled butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 15 Oreos, broken into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and grease a 12 muffin pan.

    Oh YUM, Kate! You really know how to tempt us all. I swear that muffins is actually calling my name! I like your executive decision to call these muffins rather than cupcakes. I always think of cupcakes as having thick buttercream icing piled up on top, so these definitely look like muffins through and through. And muffins get a delicious glaze on top anyway, so who even needs buttercream?! ;)

    I will eat the other half of your Oreo package, Kate. That’s what friends do!
    Oh lord, these muffins. They are WOW. I cannot. Just cannot look at them anymore without feeling madly jealous!

    Oh gosh! These would be so dangerous for me too! But I’m willing to take the risk. You can always find another treat to use up the rest of the Oreos. I also make sure I put them in a hard to reach area of the pantry so I won’t be tempted to snack on ’em (but that doesn’t always work!) & since these are muffins I can have them for breakfast right ;)

    I won’t lie, I almost turned around and went back to my homepage when i saw these muffins, because I wasn’t sure I could handle SO MUCH DELICIOUSNESS first thing in the morning! I forged on and now my belly is totally rumbling and yelling at me to make these muffins! Boys all time favorite thing is Oreos, so I KNOW he is going to flip out over these and demand I make them on the regular! Love everything about these, Kate! The chunks of Oreos and that glaze – Perfection! Plus I personally love that you called them muffins, because that means they are acceptable for breakfast. ;) Pinned! Cheers, dear!

    Oh, I am ALL OVER these Kate!! Like, woah! Consider me astounded, fascinated, and in a particularly attractive way, DROOLING over this. Love that you put oreos into muffins… also, right there with you on the remaining Oreos dilemma. *Sigh. Make that *happy sigh. When you’ve got a kitchen full of fresh, homemade Oreo Muffins AND an almost full package of Oreos, what more do you really need? :) Pinning, happily. :)

    These would not last long around here. I also have very little willpower when it comes to Oreo desserts. Oreo ice cream? Oreo pie crusts? The temptation always gets to me. These look so delicious!

    these are perfect because i always have oreos on hand to appease my hubby and sometimes they’re in the pantry a little bit longer than they should be. i can’t think of a better way to finish them off!

    OMG Kate! Genius idea! My son Casey is going to love these. He will be working all summer at an internship in Philadelphia and taking the morning train. These will be a perfect little breakfast treat to make for him! Thanks for sharing!
