Cookies and Cream Muffins

My daughter's favorite muffin!  Cookies and Cream are a kid friendly muffin.  I haven't met a child who said they didn't like an Oreo Cookie.

Cookies and Cream Muffins 
recipe by:  Mama
Preheat oven to 375 degrees than decrease to 350 degrees
2 large Texas size muffins tins
approximately 9 Texas size muffins
large paper liners

Dry Ingredients:
3 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
pinch salt
1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 tsp. canola oil
1 stick butter melted

Add ins:
12 oreo cookie cookies crushed with your fingers
3/4 cup chocolate chips

In a large bowl add dry ingredients.  Mix with a wooden spoon to incorporate all ingredients.  Next mix all wet ingredients with a whisk and add to dry.  Mix with a wooden spoon to incorporate wet and dry.  Mix well but do not over beat the batter.  Add the add ins.

With a spring loader ice-cream scoop place the thick batter into each muffin tin.  The batter should be very thick, fill up to the rim of the muffin.  This will give you a high top muffin.  If you like, cut extra Oreo cookies in half and place on  each muffin. 

Bake for 5 minutes on 375 degree and reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 20 minutes.  Let cool for 10 minutes in pan and remove to cool.
