1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
10–12 crushed Oreos
For the Oreo Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 crushed Oreos
Mini Oreos for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Fold in the crushed Oreos.
- Frost the cooled cupcakes and garnish with mini Oreos.
Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can substitute by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar with 1 cup of milk.
For a firmer frosting, add more powdered sugar; for a softer frosting, add more heavy cream.
These cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
