Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until they are smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps remaining.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. This will give the muffins enough room to rise without overflowing.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Oreo Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for longer storage.
Tips
- Don't overmix the batter - this is key to achieving light, fluffy muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for better incorporation and smoother batter.
- For extra indulgence, reserve some chocolate chips and Oreo pieces to sprinkle on top of the muffins before baking.
- Check your muffins a few minutes before the recommended baking time, as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let the muffins cool slightly in the tin to help them set, but don't leave them too long or they might get soggy.
- For a professional bakery look, use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter evenly.
