If your New Years Resolution was to eat healthier, these Oreo Cupcakes will not help with that. I am pleased to introduce you to the very best Oreo cupcakes that are the perfect dessert for any get together or an extra treat for those that love Oreos! Oh, they are so good. What makes them extra good is the “frosting.” It is less like frosting and more like a fluffy cheesecake that tastes just like Oreos.

I don’t know about you, but as a kid Oreos was the one cookie that you could not leave the package out. If you did, it was very likely that I’d be covered in Oreo crumbs and the package would be empty. Who can resist though? Chocolate and cream made into a sandwich cookie! It’s like heaven in every bite.

Since we clearly have a cupcake obsession here, it only seemed right that we turned the epic cookie into a cupcake that everyone can enjoy. It also make it less likely that I’ll eat the entire batch of cupcakes compared to the cupcakes. There’s just something about cupcakes that makes me want to share and just stick to one. Although, I might have snuck two of these Oreo Cupcakes after they were done.

How do you make Oreo Cupcakes? Make the cupcake recipe according to the directions below. Allow cupcakes to cool. Make fluffy cream cheese frosting and place in the fridge to set up. After the Oreo cupcakes have completely cooled, frost them with fluffy cream cheese frosting and top with more Oreo cookie crumbles. Watch video below for more instructions.

Tips For Making Oreo Cupcakes Fill the cupcake tins 1/2-2/3 of the way full so they don’t overflow when baking.

Allow cupcakes to completely cool before frosting them.

When frosting the cupcakes, poke a hole using a frosting tip to get the frosting into the cake.

If you want even more delicious Oreo goodness, you can add cookie crumbles into the frosting while you mix it and then top with more cookie crumbles and a whole or half Oreo.
