Oreo Muffins

I’ve used Oreo to bake cheese cake (as the base) before but haven’t tried for muffin. My cousin had sent me some muffin cups so it is a good time for me to use them! I have the muffin paper cup with me here but when I put in the muffin pan, the shape of the muffin turn out not nice!

So my cousin sent to me some aluminum cups so I can put in my muffin paper in there. Finally the shape turned out nicely! My cousin also sent me some muffin paper cups as the paper cups that they are selling here are quite expensive. I managed to get the cheap ones from the supermarket but the quality is not good (too soft).

Alright, I think I will stop talking about the paper cup now and back to the topic of muffin. I’ve tried out few muffins by using olive oil and they turned out GOOD. So, this time I also used olive oil for my Oreo Muffin.

Guess what? They were really tasty! Less oily compared with butter, healthier and less costly (I think). (^_^)

This is the paper cup that my cousin sent to me. (aluminum one)

The aroma of the muffin was very strong… SO GREAT! I can’t wait to try them as I was standing in front of the oven waiting for the timer to sound. Haha

10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…0

Finally “ting!”, it is done now! Freshly baked from the oven! Wanna try one? :P
