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

Muffins

  • 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 chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare muffin tin: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with paper muffin cups to prevent sticking and for easy removal.
  2. Make the Oreo streusel topping: Crush 4 Oreo cookies into small pieces. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, crushed Oreos, and salt. Use a fork or your fingers to mix everything into coarse crumbs. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Chop Oreo chunks for the batter: Chop the remaining 14 Oreo cookies into large chunks and set them aside for later use in the muffin batter.
  4. Mix dry ingredients for the muffins: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set this flour mixture aside.
  5. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the neutral vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla paste until fully combined and smooth.
  6. Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
  7. Add Oreo chunks to batter: Fold the large Oreo chunks into the muffin batter evenly to distribute the cookie pieces throughout.
  8. Fill muffin cups and add streusel: Evenly divide the batter into the muffin liners, filling each nearly to the top. Generously sprinkle the prepared Oreo streusel on top of each muffin for a crunchy finish.
  9. Bake the muffins: Place the muffins in the preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and bake for 5 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for an additional 18 to 20 minutes, or until the muffin tops spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the muffins: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients to ensure the muffins remain tender.
  • Using room temperature sour cream and milk helps the batter combine smoothly and bake evenly.
  • You can substitute vanilla paste with vanilla extract if needed.
  • Make sure to reduce the oven temperature after the initial 5 minutes to avoid burning the tops while ensuring they cook through.
  • Storing muffins in an airtight container at room temperature will keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
