Ingredients for homemade Oreo cupcake recipe.

For the Cupcakes

* 16 Oreo cookies shells

* 1 teaspoon baking powder

* 1 cup milk (adjust as needed)

How to Make Oreo Cupcakes

Step 1: Separate the Oreo Cookies

Take 18-20 Oreo cookies. Separate the cream filling from the chocolate biscuit.  Place the cream in a separate container. It will be used later when making the frosting.

Step 2: Oreo Powder

Place the Oreo biscuit shells and baking powder in a blender. Blend until they form a fine powder. This will be the base of your cupcake batter.

Step 3: Now, it’s time to make the batter.

Place Oreo powder in a mixing bowl. Slowly add milk, stirring as you go. Beat until a batter is formed. The batter should be smooth, thick, and pourable. Do not add a lot of milk. The batter should be smooth and moderately thick. If it becomes watery, the cupcakes may not rise properly.

Step 4: Fill the Cupcake Liners
Line the muffin tray and fill each liner about ¾ full.

Step 5: Bake
Preheat the oven to 170°C and bake for 18–20 minutes. Bake for approximately 18–20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 6: How to Make Oreo glaze

In a microwave bowl, combine the reserved Oreo cream filling and 2-3 tablespoons milk. Microwave for 15 seconds. Whisk the mixture until smooth and creamy. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes.

Step 7: Decorating Your Oreo Cupcakes

Decorate the cupcakes with crushed Oreos, mini Oreos, chocolate chips, or chocolate drizzle. These toppings add extra texture and make the cupcakes more attractive.

Here are some tips you should follow to get a perfect Oreo cupcake recipe.

1. Don’t Overmix.
2. Mix until everything is just combined.
3. Let it Cool Before Frosting
4. Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding Oreo glaze.
