Ingredients for Oreo Muffins

Substitutions and Variations

Butter: Use margarine or a plant-based butter alternative.
Milk: Swap with almond milk, soy milk, or other non-dairy milk to make the muffins dairy-free.
Eggs: For a vegan option, replace each egg with ¼ cup of unsweetened applesauce or a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with three tablespoons water).
Nutty add-in: Mix in chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans or almonds.
Double stuffed: Use Double Stuf Oreos for an even creamier and richer muffin.
Mini muffins: Use a mini muffin pan to make mini muffins. Adjust the baking time to 12 to 15 minutes.

How to Store Cookies and Cream Muffins

Store: You can keep cooled muffins in an airtight container or muffin tin for 5 or 6 days
Freezer: Freeze the muffins in a sealed container or freezer bags (I use these!) for up to 3 months. I usually individually wrap them in plastic wrap first.
Thaw: Defrost frozen muffins at room temperature for a few hours or overnight.
Reheat: Warm the muffins in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes.

Top Tips

Don’t overmix: Mix the batter just until combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Room temperature ingredients: Use room temperature eggs and butter to help the batter mix more smoothly.
Even portions: Use a cookie scoop to distribute the batter into the muffin liners evenly.
Press crumb topping lightly: Press the crumb topping onto the batter to help it stick without mixing it in.
Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the muffins are done.

Oreo Muffin FAQs

Why did my muffins turn out dense?

Overmixing the batter can cause dense muffins; mix until the ingredients are just combined.

How can I make these muffins vegan?

Replace the eggs with flaxseed eggs or unsweetened applesauce, and use dairy-free substitutes for butter and milk.

Can I use other flavors of Oreos?

Yes, you can experiment with different Oreo flavors like mint, peanut butter, gluten free Oreos, or golden Oreos for a unique twist.
