Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk

Additional

  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed (plus extra whole Oreos for decoration)
  • Cream cheese or buttercream frosting (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to create an even and fluffy base for the batter.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat softened butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, incorporating air for a soft cupcake texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next, then add vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the dry flour mixture alternating with milk or buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients to keep the batter smooth.
  6. Fold in Crushed Oreos: Gently fold the crushed Oreo cookies into the batter without overmixing to preserve cookie texture.
  7. Bake the Cupcakes: Divide the batter evenly among liners and bake 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  8. Frost and Decorate: Top each cooled cupcake with cream cheese or buttercream frosting. Garnish with a whole Oreo or cookie crumbs as desired.

Notes

  • Use eggs and butter at room temperature for smooth batter and even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain cupcake lightness and tenderness.
  • Crush Oreos by hand to keep chunkier texture in the batter.
  • Only frost cupcakes once fully cooled to avoid melting.
  • Store Oreos in an airtight container to keep them fresh for decorating.
