Ingredients

Scale

Cupcake Batter

  • 1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 10 to 12 Oreo cookies, crushed

Oreo Frosting

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream, chilled
  • 8 to 10 Oreo cookies, finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the rising agents and prevent clumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy and pale, creating a light texture by incorporating air.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
  5. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk: Gradually add the dry mixture alternately with buttermilk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to keep cupcakes tender.
  6. Fold in Crushed Oreos: Gently fold in chopped Oreo cookies to distribute the cookie pieces evenly without overmixing.
  7. Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly among cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Completely: Remove cupcakes from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the Oreo Frosting: Mix softened butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Add chilled heavy cream and beat to light peaks, then fold in finely crushed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream frosting.
  10. Decorate: Pipe or spread the frosting on cooled cupcakes and top with Oreo halves or crumbs for a beautiful finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use butter, eggs, and buttermilk at room temperature for smooth blending.
  • Mix just until combined to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • Crush Oreos by hand for the best texture instead of using a food processor.
  • Start checking cupcakes at 18 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Chill frosting slightly before piping to create neat, sculpted designs.
