Ingredients You’ll Need

Muffin recipes don’t have to be hard. Ours starts with a muffin baking mix so any level of baker can make them quickly and easily!

• Chocolate muffin mix – We used Krusteaz double chocolate muffin mix which already had chocolate chips in it. You can use any chocolate muffin mix.
• Oreo cookies – Original Oreos are what you’ll need for these muffins. If you want to try something different you can experiment with other flavors as well!
• Chocolate chips – if your mix has chocolate chips in it you can skip this..or add a few more because there is always room for more chocolate!

How to Make Oreo Muffins

Step 1 – Prepare oven. Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the box. 

Step 2 – Prepare pan. Using a non-stick spray or butter grease the inside of your muffin pan. Set aside. Note: You also have the option of using muffin liners so you can avoid greasing the muffin tin.

Step 3 – Chop Oreos. Place the Oreos on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to roughly chop them. Set ¼ of the chopped Oreo pieces to the side.

Step 4 – Make muffin batter. In a large bowl combine the muffin mix, the ingredients listed on the back of the box (most often eggs, oil, and water), and chocolate chips (if needed). Mix together.

Step 5 – Add Oreos. Add the Oreo pieces (except for the portion you set aside). Fold them into the muffin mixture.

Step 6 – Fill pan. Spoon the muffin mix into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ⅔ the way.

Step 7 – Add topping. Take the remaining Oreo pieces and place the on the tops of the muffin mix. 

Step 8 – Bake. Bake according to the box instructions. You’ll know they are done when a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out with just a few crumbs clinging to it.

Step 9 – Cool and serve. When done baking let the muffins cool for about 15 minutes and then remove from the muffin pan and let cool completely before serving.

How to Store Them

Storing muffins properly is key to keeping them fresh and delicious! Whether you’ve whipped up a batch of those scrumptious Oreo muffins or any other variety, here are some tips to ensure they stay as good as the day you baked them:

1. Cool Completely: Before storing, let your muffins cool completely. Storing them while they’re still warm can lead to moisture buildup inside the container, making them soggy.
2. Room Temperature Storage: If you plan to eat the muffins within a few days, store them at room temperature. Place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag. You can also wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
3. Refrigerate for Longer Freshness: For longer storage, you can refrigerate your muffins. Again, ensure they are in an airtight container or individually wrapped. This method can keep them fresh for about a week.
4. Freezing for Long-Term Storage: Muffins freeze exceptionally well. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible before sealing the bag. They can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them at room temperature or pop them in the microwave for a quick warm-up.
5. Avoiding Moisture and Mold: To prevent moisture buildup, you can add a paper towel in the container with the muffins, both at the bottom and top. This absorbs any excess moisture and keeps them from getting too moist or moldy.
6. Reviving Day-Old Muffins: If your muffins have gotten a bit stale, you can revive them by warming them in the microwave for a few seconds or heating them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
