Oreo Crunch Muffins - Taste and Create - Gluten Alarm



Participating in Taste and Create is always fun to do.  I love going through a new blog and selecting recipes to make.  Taste and Create gives you the opportunity to do this. 

My partner is Erika from The Teenage Taste.  According to her bio, Ericka is all of fifteen and her wonderful blog expresses the beauty of youth.  It is a refreshing blog with recipes, we all love.  At first, I was going to make the frittata but in reality, I had no time to serve it.  I had to force myself (if you believe this, .......) to look at the sweets and I decided to go with these Oreo Crunch cookies.  I have no idea if Oreos are kosher but I do have a brand that looks like Oreos that I used in place of it.

The muffins are easy to make.  I ended up with too much cookie crunch and I have a cup waiting for me to do something with it.  Perhaps, make more of the delicious muffins. 

*****  The cookies have gluten in them so I left the rest of recipe as printed with a few minor changes.

Oreo Crunch Muffins 


Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup sugar, separated
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened  (I used oil)
  • ½ cup vanilla yogurt (I used Tofutti sour cream.)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 cups Oreos, roughly chopped


Method:
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a muffin tin and set aside. (I used paper inserts.)
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream ½ cup sugar, butter, oil, yogurt, egg, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently stir in milk, then fold in the chopped Oreos.
  4. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of muffin comes out clean.
Yield: 12 muffins

My grandchildren would flip over these .

    What a fun idea to taste and create something from another blog. Those muffins sound so good. Oreos are the most popular cookie at our house so I will have to keep this recipe. I wanted to invite you to come by and show it off at These Chicks Cooked Recipe Spotlight. Have a blessed day :)

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Image
Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
