Indulge in these extra-large muffins that boast a tender and chocolate-rich crumb, peppered with the classic crunch of Oreo cookies.
Jumbo Chocolate Oreo Muffin Batter:
- 240g Milk
- 280g Ripe Bananas (about 3 bananas, roughly chopped)
- 90g Granulated Sugar
- 40g Light Brown Sugar
- 105g Neutral Oil (like vegetable or canola oil)
- 15g White Vinegar
- 260g All-Purpose Flour
- 30g Cocoa Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 75g Milk Chocolate Chips
- 60g White Chocolate Chips
- 7-10 Oreo Cookies, roughly chopped
Baking Method:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your jumbo muffin pan by lining it with large muffin liners.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and vinegar. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it looks slightly curdled. This is your homemade buttermilk.
- To the buttermilk, add the neutral oil, both sugars, and whisk until the sugars are nearly dissolved. Fold in the chopped bananas, ensuring they're well incorporated.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda in a separate bowl.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins fluffy.
- Stir in the milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips, along with three-quarters of the chopped Oreos, folding gently to distribute them throughout the batter.
- Allow the batter to rest for 30-40 minutes. This resting period helps the gluten relax for a more tender crumb and also allows the baking powder to start working, creating a lighter texture.
- Fill each muffin liner to the top with the prepared batter. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and Oreo pieces over each muffin for a delightful topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes. The muffins are done when they have risen, are firm to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve these jumbo chocolate Oreo muffins as a decadent treat any time of the day. The combination of moist banana, rich chocolate, and the iconic Oreo crunch is sure to please any sweet tooth! 🍫🍌🧁
