Oreo Cookie Muffins & A Giveaway!

Oreo Cookie Muffins
I do not like Oreo cookies-period.I am told they taste out of this world and any chocoholics dream,maybe they are but not in this part of the world.I remember the first time I had these,I was utterly disappointed.I can have my Bourbon biscuits one full packet in one sitting but this one,I couldn't even finish the first bite.

Maybe it is my taste buds playing a trick,maybe that is how it is supposed to taste and maybe you all like it that way but I am not eating one again.But,there's always a BUT when it comes to a food blogger,I use them in my sweet bakes and it tastes awesome.Add crushed Oreo cookies to a simple whipped cream frosting and it gives it a completely different edge.Add it to your regular milkshake and it tastes delicious.Add it to your cookie dough for that extra crunch,so on and so forth.

So when I got a few packets of Oreo on my last visit to the supermarket,I had this cake in mind.I also wanted to test whether the taste has changed but sad to say,it still tastes the same to me.But a few google searches later,I decided to bake these muffins.Chocolate+Coffee+Oreo,cannot go wrong,right?

I love cupcakes/muffins in any form and these too didn't disappoint.I found it to be a little less sweet,even though I added more sugar than mentioned in the recipe,but have it with a glass of cold milk and all's fine with the world again:)

Notes
  • I found the muffins to be a little less on the sweeter side,despite adding oreo cookies and chocolate chips.So if you,like me,prefer slightly sweeter muffins,add 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of sugar.
  • I added 1/2 cup of oil,original recipe calls for 1/3 cup.

  37. Hi,

    I share the same love-hate relationship with oreos. I find them best in Oreo mcflurry, but even then they are tad too sweet.

    i would love to be a part of your giveaway. What i would like to see on your blog is definitely more salads & bread baking.

    Thanks a lot, always for making my day !

  48. Hi Divya! Happy 5 Year Anniversary for your amazing blog! Thanks to you, my kitchen is filled with the aroma of delicious desserts. Oreo cookies were never my favorite as well, and recently I got hooked onto the Eggless Microwave Oreo Cake found on Apy Cooking website. Now that you have posted this recipe, I am definitely going to try it out. Just a quick question though....Can we make it without eggs? Also, I am yet to buy a muffin tray, so can this be made like a cake? All the best to you and your blog and may your blog reach to greater heights as the years go by!

    1. Thanks Prathima.I haven't tried any eggless substitutes myself,but you can replace eggs using yogurt,flaxseeds etc,a quick google search might help you.You can go ahead and bake this in a normal cake tin if you don't have a muffin tray.Just increase the baking time.
