COOKIES AND CREAM MUFFINS

With over 25+ Oreo Recipes on the site, it’s hardly a secret that we absolutely love Oreo Cookies. They add so much rich, chocolatey and creamy flavor to any recipe. The vanilla cake around the cookies compliment the Oreo flavor perfectly. It’s like delicious cookies and cream ice cream turned into a baked good!

Cookies and Cream Muffins straddle the line between breakfast and dessert. They’re quite sweet, so you may want to save them for a special occasion like a holiday or Birthday to serve for breakfast. If you’re serving them up as a dessert, you can add some frosting to to top to make them more like a cupcake or serve them with some Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Oreo Frosting

If you’d like to serve these Oreo Muffins for a birthday party or other celebratory occasion try adding some frosting to make them more like cupcakes. 

  • Add 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter to your stand mixer and put it on medium speed. Mix until light and fluffy. It should take about 30 seconds. 
  • Alternate adding in powdered sugar and milk until you’ve added 6 cups sugar and 1/3 cup milk. 
  • Fold in 1 cup of Oreo crumbs and 1 tablespoon of vanilla. 
  • To make the frosting look better top it with some Oreo pieces for a prettier presentation.
