Ingredients

Cupcakes

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp white vinegar
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 oreos (1 for each cupcake)

Frosting

  • 1 cup salted butter, softened
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-6 Tbsp milk of choice
  • 6 Oreos, crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners and place an oreo at the bottom of each. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the milk and vinegar. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the eggs. Add in the sugar, vanilla and oil, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined. 
  • Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan so that each cup is 2/3 cup full. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • To make the frosting: mix together all of the frosting ingredients in a large bowl. Add in more or less milk, depending on your desired consistency.
  • Once the cupcakes are cool, place the frosting in a ziplock bag with a corner clipped, or a piping bag. Swirl the frosting on each individual cupcake.
