Ways to Customize These Muffins

These muffins are super customizable, so you can easily switch up the toppings depending on what you like. And if you want extra indulgence and sweetness, you can also fill them for an even more bakery style treat.

Topping Ideas:

Milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate chips: Swap in milk chocolate chips for a sweeter, creamier flavor.
White chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips: This makes the muffins even sweeter and gives them a smooth taste.
Extra Golden Oreos, chopped: Add chopped Golden Oreos on top or into the batter for a sweet contrast to the classic chocolate Oreos.
Chocolate Cream Oreos instead of Milk Cream Oreos: Use chocolate filled Oreos for a more intense chocolate flavor throughout.

If you want to fill them, here are some ideas for extra indulgence:

Milk chocolate ganache: A sweet, creamy filling that melts into the center and makes the muffins extra sweet.
Semi-sweet chocolate ganache: Perfect if you want a deeper, slightly less sweet chocolate filling.
Milk chocolate ganache mixed with crushed Oreos: Adds texture and an extra cookies and cream feel inside the muffins.
White chocolate spread (store-bought): You can use it as is or mix it with finely crushed Oreos for a sweet, creamy center.

How to Store These Muffins

These Chocolate Oreo Muffins are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for about 3 days when properly stored, keeping their soft texture.

If you want to keep them longer, they can also be frozen. Simply wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze. When ready to enjoy, thaw them overnight in the fridge before serving.

Tips and Tricks

→ Use tall muffin liners for jumbo muffins - This recipe makes 8 jumbo-sized muffins and for best results, it’s important to use tall tulip style muffin liners. Fill them almost all the way to the top for that classic bakery style look. This way, the muffins will bake into tall, domed tops and need around 25 minutes of baking time.

→ Make them smaller for more muffins - You can also make this recipe into regular medium-sized muffins instead. In this case, you will get around 12 muffins. Make sure to reduce the baking time and start checking them at around the 18 minute mark to avoid overbaking.

→ Don’t overmix the batter - Once you add the dry ingredients, mix just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the muffins dense instead of soft and fluffy.

→ Don’t overbake - These muffins can dry out easily if baked for too long. Remove them from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

→ Customize the toppings - Feel free to adjust the toppings to your taste. You can find plenty of ideas in the “Ways to Customize These Muffins” section above.

→ Storage tip - Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them and thaw them overnight in the fridge before serving.

Ingredients You Will Need For This Recipe

For the muffins

Granulated sugar: Substitution: Caster sugar.
Dark brown sugar: Light brown sugar can be used if that’s what you have.
Eggs: Provide structure, richness and help the muffins rise properly. I recommend using large eggs for this recipe.
Unsalted butter (melted): Salted butter can be used, but reduce the added salt in the recipe. Make sure the butter is fully cooled before mixing so it doesn’t affect the batter.
Whole milk: Adds moisture and helps create a soft batter.
Plain yogurt: Greek yogurt or sour cream both work well as substitutions.
Vanilla bean paste: Vanilla extract works perfectly too.
All purpose flour: Gives structure to the muffins.
Dutch processed cocoa powder: Gives a deep chocolate flavor and rich dark color. Regular unsweetened cocoa powder works as well.
Finely crushed Oreos: Distribute Oreo flavor throughout the muffins.
Baking powder: Helps the muffins rise and stay light.
Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.
Roughly chopped Oreos: Adds chunks of cookie texture inside the muffins.
Cookies and cream chocolate / milk chocolate chips: Adds pockets of melted chocolate throughout the muffins.
