Cookies and cream lovers will love these Oreo cupcakes. The cupcakes are moist chocolate with crushed Oreos baked in. They are topped with a creamy Oreo frosting and a mini Oreo cookie for extra flavor and crunch.
Ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. 1 cup boiling water. 12 Oreo cookies, crushed for the batter. 12 Oreo cookies for garnish. 1 batch of Oreo frosting see instructions below.
Instructions: Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix the batter well until it's smooth. Add the crushed Oreo cookies and mix them in. Slowly pour the hot water into the batter while mixing it. It's okay that the batter isn't very thick. About two thirds of the way to the top of each cupcake liner, fill it with batter. On top of every cupcake, put a whole Oreo cookie. After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Make a batch of Oreo frosting see below for instructions while the cupcakes cool. After the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the Oreo frosting and put a mini Oreo cookie on top of each one. Serve your tasty Oreo cupcakes and enjoy them!
