Ingredients

For Oreo Cupcakes

  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 12 whole Oreos
  • 6 oreos crushed

For Oreo Buttercream Frosting

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2-3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup finely crushed Oreos

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, combine ingredients. Alternate the flour mixture and milk, in three additions. Do not overmix. Remove bowl from stand and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed, making sure to incorporate any dry ingredients. Fold in crushed Oreo pieces.
  • Place one whole Oreo on the bottom of each liner. Evenly fill cups with the batter (about ⅔ of the way full). Place in oven and bake for about 16-18 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean (do not overbake, results will be dry). Remove from oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (30 minutes or so).

For the Buttercream Frosting

  • Cream the butter, salt, vanilla and milk in the bowl of a stand mixer (beat on high for 1 minute).
  • With mixing speed on low, begin adding in the sugar a ½ c. at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Add additional cream until desired consistency is reached.
  • Remove bowl from stand and fold in the Oreo cookie crumbs. Frost cupcakes with the buttercream and garnish accordingly.
