Ingredients
-
280g Plain Flour
-
75g Cocoa Powder
-
2 and ½ Tsp Baking Powder
-
½ Tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
-
55g Unsalted Butter
-
250g Caster Sugar
-
300ml Buttermilk

60ml Vegetable Oil
-
100g White Chocolate Chips
-
100g Crushed Oreos
-
Black Milk White Chocolate Spread
-
25g Crushed Oreos
The Filling
Directions
Firstly, preheat your oven to 220°C or 200°C Fan.
Add your butter to a bowl and fully melt it in the microwave. Then set it aside.
Add your plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a large bowl.
Pour in the caster sugar and an (optional) tsp of instant coffee.
Combine all the dry ingredients together with a balloon whisk.
Add your buttermilk and melted butter into a separate large bowl, then mix them together with a fork
Crack in both eggs.
Pour in your vegetable oil and mix again until fully combined.
Gradually add your wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ones and continue mixing to create the muffin batter. (Don’t worry if there are small lumps in the batter as these will disappear when baked.)
Pour in your white chocolate chips and crushed Oreos. Then fold them through the batter with a spatula.
Place 12 muffin cases into a muffin tray.
Evenly distribute your muffin batter into each muffin case.
Place the muffin tray in the centre of your oven and bake for 3 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C or 160°C fan oven.
Bake for an additional 12 - 17 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a skewer into the centre of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they are fully baked.
Allow the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before moving on to the next step... Do not remove them from the muffin tray.
Using a knife, create a small hole in the top of each muffin. This is where you will add the spread later on.
Open your jar of Black Milk White Chocolate Spread and spoon all the contents into a piping bag.
Evenly pipe the spread into each muffin, ensuring you add a small dollop to the tops, as shown in the photo provided.
To decorate, sprinkle some crushed Oreos onto the top of each muffin. Then they are ready to enjoy!
These muffins will last for 4-5 days in an airtight container and can also be frozen.
Recipe Note
Your Guide to Perfect Muffins: Tips & FAQs
What’s the secret to a high, domed "bakery-style" muffin top?
The secret is already built into this recipe! The technique of starting the bake with an initial blast of high heat (220°C) for a few minutes, before lowering the temperature, causes the leavening agents (baking powder and bicarbonate of soda) to react very quickly. This creates a powerful burst of steam that forces the muffin batter to rise rapidly upwards, creating those tall, professional-looking domes before the top crust has a chance to set.
What is the history of the muffin?
While the word can refer to the flat, yeast-based English muffin, the American-style muffin in this recipe is a type of "quick bread." Its history dates back to 18th-century America, when bakers began using a newly developed chemical leavener called pearlash (a precursor to modern baking powder). This allowed them to create individual, cake-like breads quickly without waiting for yeast to rise, and the American muffin was born!
Any tips for filling the muffins neatly?
For a clean and easy filling process, first, use an apple corer to remove a perfect-sized hole from the centre of each cooled muffin. Secondly, if your white chocolate spread is very firm, you can gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to make it softer and easier to pipe.
Can I make these muffins without the filling?
Absolutely! If you prefer a classic (but still delicious) Oreo muffin, you can skip the filling steps entirely. The rich chocolate muffin packed with white chocolate chips and crushed Oreos is fantastic on its own.
