Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 Oreo cookies, split in half
Black frosting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour batter into liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Frost with black frosting. Press two Oreo halves into the frosting at an angle to form bat wings.
Notes
Use orange-filled sandwich cookies for a festive Halloween twist.
Add mini chocolate chips to the batter for extra richness.
Swirl in red gel food coloring or add edible glitter to the frosting for dramatic flair.
To prevent wings from falling off, press them firmly into frosting and chill for 15 minutes.
The cupcakes are naturally dairy-free and egg-free, making them easy to adapt for vegan diets with vegan cookies and frosting.
