Servings 12 muffins

Ingredients
  

Cookies & Cream Filling

  • ½ cup (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, coarsely chopped

Double Chocolate Muffins

  • 2 cups (255g) all purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (56g) black or dark unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed brown sugar
  • cup (152ml) vegetable oil or neutral oil of your choice
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (227g) sour cream, room temperature
  • cup (78ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 ⅓ cups (227g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3 Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies, quartered

Instructions
 

Cookies & Cream Filling

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Gently fold in the Oreos.

Double Chocolate Muffins

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a 12-serving muffin pan with tulip liners*
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream and milk until well combined. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients just until combined. Do not over mix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups, about 3 1/2 oz (99g) in each one. Scoop or spoon a scant tablespoon-size dollop of the filling into the center of each muffin.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350ºF (180ºC). Continue baking until a toothpick inserted into the cake part of the muffins comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, about 7-10 more minutes. If the toothpick hits a melted chocolate chip, reinsert a clean toothpick and test again. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Top each muffin with a quarter piece of Oreo cookie.

Notes

*Tulip muffin liners are preferred. To find tulip muffin liners, click here. You can also make your own by pressing  6-inch squares of parchment paper into the muffin pan cups. If you want to use standard muffin liners, fill them 3/4 full and use less filling. Standard muffin liners hold less batter so you'll end up with a a couple of extra muffins.  Keep in mind that the baking time will be shorter.
