About Oreo muffin

Oreo muffins are a dessert treat inspired by the classic American Oreo cookie, combining rich chocolate flavors with a soft muffin texture. Originating from contemporary baking practices, they are rooted in Western cuisine and are popular worldwide. Typically made with a blend of flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and crushed Oreo cookies, Oreo muffins are high in carbohydrates and fats due to the inclusion of sugar and butter. While offering energy-dense calories, they are low in essential vitamins and minerals, and contain significant amounts of saturated fat, cholesterol, and added sugars, making them a less nutritionally optimal choice for daily consumption.
