I love recipes that take a classic ingredient and turn it into something extraordinary. I am always trying to think of recipes that make me think out of the box and bring my readers a new sense of creativity into their kitchen. Get ready for this one girls, it’s worth it!
Hot chocolate is one thing; hot chocolate and oreos is another but Hot Chocolate and Oreo Muffins means you are playing with the big boys now! You may think these muffins are out of your league but trust me- You Can Do This- and before you know you will have a new favorite treat that will wow anyone who hears you mutter the words hot chocolate Oreo muffins.
I got the idea for Oreo muffins from my new blogger friend Baker Street. Her Oreo muffins look surreal and who wouldn’t want to gobble down a dozen of those babies! Click here for that recipe. I then got the idea to incorporate hot chocolate into the batter because I had some leftover Mexican hot chocolate mix that I had made from Christmas and since it is now HOT- yes HOT- here in Houston I thought I would use it up in the batter. AMAZING! It was just amazing! A combo of hot chocolate and crunchy Oreo’s is something every kid or rather adult should have at least once in their life!
Note: In case you are wondering where is the chocolate color? Although these muffins have hot chocolate mix in them, the amount of mix I included in the batter wasn’t enough to make a full blown chocolate color. You are more than welcome to add as much or as little hot chocolate mix as you wish. The more the merrier but for a subtle chocolate flavor 1-2 teaspoons is just enough!
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tsp hot chocolate mix
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup margarine
- 20 oreo cookies
- In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, hot chocolate,soda and salt, set aside.
- In small bowl, combine milk, sour cream, and egg then stir the egg mixture in to the flour mixture with margarine until just blended. Gently stir in the cookies and spoon batter 12 greased 2½ inch muffin pan cups.
- Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Remove from pan, cool on wire rack.
Oh my goodness my kids would devour these. Perfect timing for Oreos 100 bday! I can’t wait to try these. I can’t take my eyes off the Oreo muffin top.
I totally forgot about Oreo birthday- guess I should have saved this post for then! Oh well
at times i tried not to come here early in the morning cos that will be a real torture for me and now, even though i already had my dinner, i still find it a lil torturing..can i have that for my supper??
Sounds awesome. This reminds me of cookie cake that includes cookies in cake but its unbaked. I want to try this one day
What a fun idea! These would be awesome to bring to a friend or serve at a brunch
Cookies as muffins, aka breakfast? I’m on board, they look great!
I love the picture where you can see the inside of the muffin, it looks so soft and crumbly and…. Nom Nom Nom!!! That’s all… 😉
Mmm you had me at Oreo! These look delicious!
I’m curious about the hot choc mix- as the muffin didn’t turn all chocolatey! but I could just imagine fluffy and crunch of oreos!
I know! Funny they aren’t chocolate color but that is because I used my homemade cocoa mix (which is lighter in the brown color) and I only used a few teaspoons which wasn’t enough to actually turn the batter chocolate
Hot Chocolate and Oreo Muffins…that is just insanity and goodness wrapped up into one. 🙂
Girl, these look fantastic! I love your idea of adding hot cocoa…genius! And you can really never go wrong with Oreos 🙂
This has got to seriously be my most favorite recipe that you’ve ever posted. I can’t think of a better way to start the day, than with Oreos!
These photos look amazing and it feels like I almost want to grab those muffins out of my monitor. 🙂 I love those chunks of Oreos in the muffin.
How fun! Hot chocolate in muffins? Yum! I’m going to try these and add a lot of hot chocolate mix to try and get that brown color. Thanks for sharing!
Jessica, you certainly know how to catch our attention with these delicious goodness! Looks so yummy!!!
Allright, these have to be a million calories each- and I would probably eat the whole batch. I’m still drooling over the biscoff pudding from the other day…
Yes A Million but A Million AMAZING calories! LOL!
Jessica, these are awesome. I like that they are not chocolate in appearance but bits of chocolate…wow a whole treat in one! This is truly a fun treat and your photos are just so tempting!!
You’re so creative oreo’s and hot chocolate, yummmm! These look more like cupcakes to me 🙂
Oh my goodness!! fantastic! these woulld get me going in the morning!

This is my kind of a muffin. These look heavenly!!!
I am a big time believer that any muffin is a breakfast food…and this is definitely one I’d love to start my day with 🙂
These sound fantastic! Love the addition of hot chocolate mix in there… and the oreos don’t hurt either 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Oh my goodness, I love this muffin. It looks absolutely amazing. Yes, I’m in love 🙂

Wow, this is the second recipe with Oreo I saw today! Looks wonderful, my kids would love this!
Just like all your other creations, those oreo muffins look divine Jessica! My tummy started growling the very moment I saw them!
Wow, that’s all I can say is wow. The looks so mouth watering-ly, lip smacking-ly, sweet tooth satisfying-ly delicious! Yeah, that’s right – I made up new words! Haha! I have GOT to try making these, there is a household of hungry boys here that could probably eat up the whole batch. Thanks for sharing this! 🙂
What a fantastic combination. I love the hot cocoa and oreos both! YUM!!!
Oh my gosh these look amazing!
Oh my! they sound yummy!
I just read in the New York Times today that Oreo’s 100 birthday is eminent..that is the only store-bought cookie we keep on hand for night snacks. Your muffins are a great celebration of this little circle of joy.
My boys would love this muffin! I have been buying the Trader Joe’s version of Oreo’s, personally I think they taste better and have no trans fat too! Anyhow, these look great and like how you used what you had on hand, like leftover Mexican hot chocolate mix!
How can you go wrong with oreos and hot chocolate?! I love how you’ve combined them here. Sure wish I had one. 🙂
Such a fun muffin idea. A great excuse to buy Oreos.
Oh my gosh, these are definitely popular with the kids and I bet they’d be gone before any adult can set their eyes on them!:p
Yuuummmm! Muffins with oreos sounds so wonderful, and the addition of hot chocolate mix sounds even better!! Well done 🙂
not that i needed an excuse to buy oreos! love these muffins, those puffed tops. mmm
Gues what I have in the oven right now!
YAY! Your muffins look gorgeous! I just love the texture of these muffins. 🙂 Adding hot chocolate is a fantastic idea.
