Ingredients
  

Cupcake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • cup sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 ¾ cups crushed Oreo cookies

Frosting:

  • 2 cups confectioners sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ½ cups finely crushed Oreo cookies

Instructions
 

Cupcake:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer to beat eggs and sugar. Beat for 1-2 minutes until eggs are a light yellow. While still mixing very slowly pour in melted butter and vanilla extract.
  • Slowly mix in milk and your dry ingredients. Adding in a little at a time back and forth, scraping the sides as needed until all ingredients are well combined
  • Last fold in crushed Oreo cookies into the batter.
  • Spoon cupcake batter into your prepared muffin tin about ¾ the way full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cupcakes are cooked through and a toothpick can come out clean. Place on a rack to cool completely before icing.

Frosting:

  • With an electric mixer cream together confectioners sugar and softened butter. Once well combined add in vanilla extract and heavy whipping cream then mix in again.
  • Crush Oreos finely in a food processor then fold into batter. (tip: Crushing by hand could leave larger pieces that will come out in a piping bag.)
  • Add to a piping bag and top on cooled cupcakes. 
  • Optional: I topped mine with mini Oreos for garnish.

Notes

  • Pro Frosting Tip: Crushing by hand could leave larger pieces that will not come out in a piping bag, so use a food processor.
