#1 : Oreo Muffins

I've been reading this blog since I don't know when. It is the Happy Home Baking. That is the blog where I got the recipe for dog horlick cookies which I found really cute. I made them on Easter and it was a success. Then yesterday I tried to bake Oreo muffins. It was a success too! Except that I forgot to put the caster sugar after i sifted a little bit of flour. But I fixed it. The recipe makes 6 muffins and it was my first time making muffins from the scratch! (I used to make instant muffins where you can buy it from Woolworths/Coles - where basically you just mix what's inside the box and put it in the oven). My muffins are heart-shaped because I used the heart-shaped muffin tray which I bought almost 2 years ago and I have never used it!

Ingredients:
(makes 6 muffins)

• 2oz (56g) butter room temperature
• 35g caster sugar 1 egg, lightly beaten
  
• 105g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1/2 cup (118ml) fresh milk
  
• Oreo cookie chunks

Method :

• Preheat oven to 190 deg C.
• Cream butter until soft with mixer.
• Add in sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
• Add in the egg gradually. Beat well each time egg is added.
• Sift flour and baking powder. Fold flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
• Fill each muffin cup with batter till half full. Sprinkle several oreo cookie chunks on top, then cover with a spoonful of batter.
• Bake for 25 mins, until lightly browned. Cool the muffins in the pan for 5 mins before transfering to a wire rack to cool.

I wouldn't make this Oreo muffin again in the future. It doesn't taste as good as what I thought it would be. I cannot taste the Oreo. The Oreo chunks had soften and melted in the sponge. The muffin is too big - maybe I put too much batter on each cup. Or maybe I need to put more cookies. Well chocolate chips sound better than Oreo. From scale 1 to 10, I'd give it 5.
