Muffin Monday: Oreo Muffins

I can't remember the last time I had Oreos. Making these muffins brought back childhood memories when I used to eat Oreos all the time. Dip them in milk, twist them, eat the filling first, or eat it whole. Lots of ways I used to eat Oreos!  These muffins turned out great. I slightly changed the recipe from Food.com. First, I cut the recipe in half as I did not want to have 40 mini muffins, added a little vanilla in the batter, broke the cookies into quarter chunks for the batter, and added an Oreo crumble on top. It made 10 muffins and I was happy with that!
