Oreo Cupcakes

By loves2bake

I got the Oreo cupcake recipe from Heaven is Chocolate, Cheese, and Carbs. It is a really good, basic chocolate cupcake with Oreo bits mixed in. You could use any chocolate or yellow cake cupcake recipe you like in place of this one and simply mix in Oreo bits. I converted the recipe (shown below) from its original metric to US customary units, and added my notes.

Ingredients

• 3/4 C butter, room temperature
• 2 1/4 C brown sugar
• 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
• 3 large eggs, separated
• 2 t vanilla extract
• 2 C all-purpose flour
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 t baking soda
• 1 3/4 C milk
• 8 Oreo cookies, smashed to bits

Preparation

Step 1

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in egg yolks.
Mix in vanilla and chocolate.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter/sugar mixture.
Stir in Oreos.
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until peaks form.
Fold the batter into the egg whites.
Fill cupcake liners almost to the top - remember that you want these to be tall.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 F or until a toothpick comes out clean.
