Oreo Muffins

Oreo Muffins – tender muffins filled with Oreo cookies and then topped with an Oreo streusel topping. The ultimate dessert for breakfast combination!

Let’s face it, muffins really are just a cupcake without the frosting. I mean, there are healthy ones out there like this Chocolate Oatmeal Blender Muffins, that really are pretty good for you. But your average muffin is an excuse to eat cake for breakfast.

And these Oreo muffins are exactly that! They are a traditional muffin base loaded with crushed Oreo cookies and then you make a streusel topping out of Oreo crumbs.

I first posted this recipe on the blog back in 2011, it was one of the first recipes that I posted. It is definitely one of my son’s favorite muffins, but not one that gets made often. These are 100% a treat, and I am not trying to pass them off as anything but.

And if you find yourself with Oreo’s on hand, I have a few great uses for them! This No Bake Oreo Cheesecake is a great easy dessert. And these Oreo Stuffed Cookies are an over the top treat that everyone will go crazy for.

How To Make Oreo Muffins

  1. I like the make the streusel topping first, so it is ready to go when the muffin batter is ready. All you have to do is add Oreo cookie crumbs, flour and sugar into a bowl. Using your hands or a fork cut in the small pieces of butter. Mix it together until it is like a coarse sand mixture. Place it in the fridge, so the butter stays cold while you make the muffins.
  2. In a mixer cream together butter and sugar until it is fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs in one at a time, beating after each addition until it is fully incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Mix in the flour and baking powder until it just started to come together.
  5. Add the milk and mix until it is fully incorporated.
  6. Fold in the crushed Oreos. The batter will be thick.
  7. Divide the batter into 15 muffin ups that are either lined with a paper liner or sprayed with non-stick spray.
  8. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the top and bake for about 18 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
  9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

How Do You Store Muffins

Muffins are great store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them. Just let them cool and place in an air tight container in the freezer for up to 4 months. To thaw, just remove and let sit on the counter or you can microwave for 30-40 seconds per muffin.

My Batter Is Thick? Is That Normal?

Yes, this batter is thick, don’t worry. Do not keep adding milk to thin it out, they will bake up just fine with the thick batter.

What Oreo’s To Use

There are a million types of Oreo’s out there. I think these are best with the traditional Oreo cookies, but you can use regular or double stuffed, both work well.

I haven't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would just take about an hour, like banana bread.

I have never baked muffins in the air fryer. if you have with another recipe and they turned out, I am sure these would work as well. But I don't have a muffin pan that fits in my air fryer, so it isn't something I can test.
