Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For decoration: Oreo cookies (bat wings), candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips), melted chocolate or frosting (to attach)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Slowly add dry mixture into wet, stirring until just combined.
- Divide batter into liners (2/3 full). Bake 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool muffins completely on a wire rack.
- Decorate: Cut Oreos into halves for wings. Use frosting or melted chocolate to attach wings and candy eyes on each muffin.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter — keeps muffins light and fluffy.
- Cool muffins fully before decorating to prevent wings from sliding.
- Customize with frosting colors or add drizzle designs for extra spooky flair.
- Make ahead: bake muffins a day early and decorate before serving.
- Try flavor twists like pumpkin purée, red velvet, or mini muffin versions.
