Ingredients:
- 1 cup thick Greek Yogurt
- 2/3 cup coconut oil (or your preferred oil)
- 1/3 cup milk (any kind)
- 2 eggs (bring to room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- Oreo cookies (crushed into large pieces - opt for the extra creamy variety)
- Chocolate chips (add according to taste)
Instructions:
- Begin by heating your oven to 410°F (210°C).
- In a sizable mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, milk, oil, vanilla essence, and eggs, whisking until they are thoroughly mixed.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and granulated sugar until the mixture is just unified.
- Incorporate the crushed Oreo cookies and chocolate chips into the batter. A pro tip: Toss your chocolate chips with a bit of flour to keep them from dropping to the bottom of your muffins.
- Distribute the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each just beyond three-quarters full. Feel free to add more Oreo pieces and chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- Bake at 410°F (210°C) for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (180°C) and continue baking for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins turn golden brown and pass the "toothpick test."
Enjoy these heavenly Oreo muffins, where every mouthful is a celebration of creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey goodness!
