It’s always party time with these Oreo Funfetti Cupcakes stuffed with sprinkles and Oreo-goodness! I even put an Oreo on the bottom for a little surprise!
A Cupcake in the Oven- not mine!
There are so many awesome things happening! I got married on Friday (I’m currently on my honeymoon, but don’t worry I wrote this the week before!) and Sally from Sally’s Baking Addiction is having a baby! So this post is part of her virtual baby shower from a handful of us bloggers who just love and adore Sally! We decided to have a theme of sprinkles because sally has some incredible funfetti and sprinkle recipes over on her delicious blog! So of course I had to make a cupcake…. and what goes with everything? Oreos!
Not all Sprinkles are Created Equally
So I sort of messed up… I used the wrong sprinkles inside the cake! Whoops. But it also didn’t really matter because they’re just so cute anyway. I meant to use nonpareils but grabbed the jimmies instead. The nonpareils just melt into the batter a little better, those are the little bead sprinkles! You can buy a little bottle for a buck at the grocery store so they’re nice and easy to find too.
Can you see it? The Oreo I baked into the bottom of these cupcakes? People love finding this at the bottom because they’re always so surprised and start telling the person next to them “There’s an Oreo in here!” It’s so much fun to watch them be amazed by a little cupcake.
Colors Make the Party
These cupcakes are perfect for any party because you can mix up the sprinkle colors, mix up the cupcake liner colors! You can make them perfect for a little girl’s party, a boy’s monster truck bash or even celebrate a team by using the team colors! And everyone loves Oreos, so you’ll be the hit of the party with these.
Trying to Make Everyone Happy
You know I love my cake mix recipes because they’re so fast, fool-proof and even come in gluten free and all natural varieties. But I totally get that some people love scratch recipes so I included one of each for these Oreo Funfetti Cupcakes! The trick with cakes from scratch in the mixing technique. Your batter should actually be fluffy! Room temperature eggs are a must and a huge reason why scratch batters don’t always turn out. Make sure to read my trick to getting room temperature eggs fast!
Don’t sprinkles just make you so happy? It’s like they’re saying “Hello! Let’s party!”

Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners. (Optional: you can place an Oreo at the bottom of each cupcake liner and then fill with batter on top.)
-

-

7. Oreo Buttercream: Finley crush your Oreos using a food processor, blender or rolling pin. If you don't plan on piping your cupcakes then larger pieces work just fine! In a stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla extract and slowly add in powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. If it gets too thick, add a splash of milk. Fold in crushed Oreo pieces and then frost cooled cupcakes!

I do agree with all of the concepts you’ve introduced in your post.
They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief
for newbies. Could you please lengthen them a little
from next time? Thank you for the post.

I’m on My first batch of these , tested with toothpick and cake out clean. Cooled for 5 min. Then they collapsed. When totally cooled, I went for a taste and it’s raw dough !?! So I put them back in hoping but What the same! did I do wrong!?! Also sprinkles have melted into batter. Is there a resource you can link for good sprinkles that hold up in batter when baked?
Ugh! I accidentally hit send so here the rest of the story… I used up the last of the batter without Oreo and they’re fine
So next time I’ll try it with three or add a spoonful of instant, diluted in water. I really liked the taste, the only thing is that it didn’t turn out as pretty as yours. I had it spread apart along the line of the squeeze and it was kind of open, but the taste makes up for the lack of appeal that I got.
These are so cute! Love this idea!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. I appreciate you publishing it on your website because it looks absolutely stunning. Gratitude for distributing your blog
