How to Make Oreo Cupcakes
Prep - Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Create cupcake batter - While the oven is preheating, cream together your butter and sugar in a medium or large bowl until smooth. Add your eggs and vanilla to the sugar mixture and whisk until the eggs are fully incorporated.
Incorporate dry ingredients - Once the eggs and vanilla are fully incorporated into the batter, add the white flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Slowly mix the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients until no clumps of flour remain then fold in the crushed Oreo pieces.
Add milk - Add the whole milk and mix again until the batter is smooth.
Bake - Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner all the way with batter. Cook the cupcakes for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick can be removed without any dough.
Add icing - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding your favorite icing.
Serve - Serve and enjoy the Oreo Cupcakes
Common Questions About Oreo Cupcakes
How long can I store these cupcakes?
Without the frosting, you can store these cupcakes on the counter in an airtight container for up to one week. If they are frosted, they will last for about five days in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can store these cupcakes in the freezer for up to three months. Simply allow the cupcake to thaw before you put frosting on it.
Why do I need to add milk to my cupcake batter?
The milk helps to add moisture to the cupcakes. Omitting the milk will cause the cupcakes to develop a brownie-like consistency. While they still taste great with this consistency, it is important to remember to add the milk if you want a traditional, moist cupcake texture.
Why are my cupcakes so dense?
Dense cupcakes are often a sign of dry cupcakes as well. Often, dense cupcakes occur as a result of adding too much flour to your batter. Flour naturally absorbs moisture and causes baked goods to become denser. If you are running into the problem of dense cupcakes over and over again, try cutting back slightly on the amount of flour you use.
