  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine dry ingredients: sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder in a mixing bowl.

  3. Gradually pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients while stirring gently until just combined. Fold in crushed Oreos.
  4. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners in a muffin tin until two-thirds full. Bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. For the frosting: Beat softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until smooth; stir in vanilla extract and milk. Mix in crushed Oreos.
  6. Once cooled, frost each cupcake generously with Oreo buttercream and top with additional Oreos or crumbled pieces.
