The base of these fluffy muffins is rich and chocolatey, increasing even more with chunks of Oreo cookie throughout the batter. It’s a super simple batter to make by hand.

I love adding a crunchy Oreo streusel on the top to add texture and more Oreo flavor. Perfect for enjoying wth your morning coffee.
