Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Streusel

  • 4 Oreo cookies, crushed into small pieces
  • 32 g all-purpose flour
  • 35 g unsalted butter, softened
  • 25 g granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Muffin Batter

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder (natural)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 180 g sour cream (room temperature)
  • 105 g neutral vegetable oil
  • 120 g milk (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
  • 14 Oreo cookies, chopped into large chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Oreo Streusel: Crush 4 Oreo cookies into small pieces. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and crushed Oreos. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until you have coarse crumbs. Set this streusel mixture aside.
  3. Chop Oreos for Batter: Chop the remaining 14 Oreo cookies into large chunks and set aside for later folding into the batter.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla paste until smooth and fully combined.
  6. Add Dry to Wet: Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix to keep the batter tender.
  7. Fold in Oreo Chunks: Incorporate the chopped Oreo cookie chunks into the batter evenly, distributing the cookies throughout.
  8. Fill Muffin Cups & Add Streusel: Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each to the top. Generously sprinkle the prepared Oreo streusel on top of each muffin to create a crunchy topping.
  9. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffin tops spring back when lightly pressed.
  10. Cool Muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and helps them set perfectly.

Notes

  • Make sure sour cream and milk are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients to keep the muffins light and tender.
  • The initial high temperature helps create a nice rise and crust; do not skip lowering the oven after 5 minutes to avoid burning.
  • Use neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil to not overpower the chocolate and Oreo flavors.
  • For best texture, consume muffins within 2 days or freeze them for longer storage.
