Yields 10 Muffins- 210g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 180g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 240g cake flour, sifted
- 6g baking powder
- 5g vanilla extract
- 10 Oreo cookies (cream removed)
- 6 Oreo cookies for topping (cut in half)
- 90ml milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by ensuring your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature, making it pliable and easy to cream. Cold butter won’t incorporate well, so plan ahead.
Step 2
Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the softened butter until it becomes light and fluffy, resembling pale yellow cream. Incorporating air at this stage will help create a wonderfully tender muffin.
Step 3
Add all the granulated sugar to the butter and continue to beat until the mixture is well combined, the sugar is mostly dissolved, and the color lightens to an ivory hue.
Step 4
Gradually add the room temperature eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated. Adding them too quickly can cause the batter to curdle, so be patient and add them in stages.
Step 5
Once the eggs are thoroughly mixed in, stir in the vanilla extract to finish. This not only enhances the flavor but also helps to mask any eggy aroma.
Step 6
Gently fold in the sifted cake flour and baking powder using a spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can develop gluten and result in tough muffins. Pour in the milk and mix again until the batter is smooth and uniform.
Step 7
For the Oreo cookies, carefully remove and discard the cream filling from all 10 cookies. You will only be using the chocolate cookie part for the batter.
Step 8
Place the cream-free Oreo cookies into a zip-top bag or a plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or a bottle to crush the cookies into small pieces. Aim for a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks for a pleasant texture in the muffins.
Step 9
Add the crushed Oreo cookie pieces to the muffin batter. Gently fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
Step 10
Your delicious Oreo muffin batter is now complete and ready for baking.
Step 11
Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Use an ice cream scoop or a spoon to fill each liner about 70-80% full with the batter. A piping bag can also be used for neater filling.
Step 12
Place the filled muffin liners into the prepared muffin tin. Take the halved topping Oreo cookies and gently press one half into the center of each muffin. Pressing them slightly will help them stay in place during baking.
Step 13
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean when the muffins are done. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven.
