Salted butter: Softened butter helps to create a crumbly texture.
Packed light brown sugar: Adds a deeper, molasses-like sweetness.
All-purpose flour: The base of the muffin provides structure.
Baking powder: Leavening agent to help the muffins rise.
Eggs: Act as a binding agent and add richness.

Making the crumb topping: In a mixing bowl, mix Oreo crumbs, flour, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a fork to combine until the mixture is crumbly. Set aside.
Making Oreo crumbs: If you haven’t done so already, place whole Oreos in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Set aside.
Whisk dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and Oreo crumbs. Set aside.
Combine sugars and eggs: In a large mixing bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs. Whisk until combined. Use a hand mixer or whisk.
Add butter and vanilla: Add melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix well into the muffin batter.
Mix batter: Add the dry and wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until all ingredients are combined into a thick batter.
Fill liners: Use a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons) to fill each cupcake liner to ¾ full.
Add crumb topping: Add 2 tablespoons of crumb topping to each uncooked muffin. Press down slightly without mixing.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 23 to 25 minutes at 350°F.
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.
Serving Suggestions
Appetizer: This recipe for rice pudding is a good way to start you off! So creamy and delicious. Baked eggs en cocotte are a light savory egg-based appetizer to start with.
Main: Whip up a savory batch of my shrimp spinach omelet or a crunchwrap! A breakfast casserole is a hearty and wholesome main to try.
Dessert: End off with a plate of ultra-rich Oreo muffins!
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
Overmixing the batter can cause dense muffins; mix until the ingredients are just combined.
Replace the eggs with flaxseed eggs or unsweetened applesauce, and use dairy-free substitutes for butter and milk.
Yes, you can experiment with different Oreo flavors like mint, peanut butter, gluten free Oreos, or golden Oreos for a unique twist.
