These Vegan Oreo Cupcakes with Oreo Frosting are dairy-free, eggless, and full of vanilla and cookies and cream flavor. These are the perfect cupcakes to make for the Oreo lover in your life.
I LOVE adding Oreos into baked goods. They are the ultimate crowd-pleaser. I love making a Vegan Oreo Cake for a celebration, or a Vegan Cookies and Cream Pizookie for a casual cozy dessert, or even Oreo Whoopie Pies! You name it, Oreos are good in it.
Usually my Oreo desserts lean chocolatey, so with these Vegan Oreo Cupcakes, I wanted to keep it more vanilla and cookies and cream. And they are so delicious! Soft vanilla cake batter is folded with crushed Oreos, then topped with vegan cookies and cream frosting.
Dare I say, these are the perfect vegan cupcake?

Ingredient Notes
Canola Oil: Canola oil keeps these vegan cookies and cream cupcakes light and moist. You can substitute for any neutral oil, like grapeseed oil or avocado oil. But don't substitute coconut oil.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk, but any non-dairy milk will work!
Vegan Butter: Be sure to use a vegan butter that comes in stick form in the frosting. The kind that comes in a tub will be too soft. I like Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks.
Oreos: Be sure to get original Oreos- not double stuffed!
Special Equipment
You will need a stand mixer or a hand mixer to mix the Vegan Oreo Frosting. You will not be able to get it light and fluffy mixing by hand.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Mix the sugar, non-dairy milk, canola oil and vanilla together.
Step 2. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to form the batter.
Step 3. Add the chopped Oreos and fold them into the batter.
Step 4. Portion the Oreo cupcake batter into a prepared muffin pan and bake.
How to Make the Frosting
The Vegan Oreo Frosting puts these cupcakes over the top! Its light, fluffy and full of cookies and cream flavor. Here is how to make it:
Step 1. Cream the vegan butter until smooth. Then, add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Next add the vanilla and non-dairy milk and mix until light and fluffy.
Step 2. Fold crushed Oreos through the frosting and thats it! Frost the cupcakes with Vegan Oreo Frosting.
How to Frost the Cupcakes
To frost these Vegan Oreo Cupcakes, you can spread the frosting on with a butterknife or an offset spatula, or pipe the frosting on with a pastry tip.
I used a large round tip to pipe the frosting on.
Recipe FAQs
How should I store the Vegan Oreo Cupcakes?
Place the cupcakes into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Allow the cupcakes to come to room temperature before serving.
Can I use store bought frosting?
Yes! To use store bought frosting for this recipe, use one can of vanilla frosting and fold the crushed Oreos into it, then frost the cupcakes as desired.
Expert Tips and Tricks
When making the frosting for these, scrape the bowl down with a rubber spatula after each step. This will ensure you are left with a lump-free buttercream.
Also for the frosting, be sure to crush the Oreos really well. If the cookies are left too large, it will be hard to frost the cupcakes.

Do not use double-stuffed Oreos!
For the Oreos that are folded into the cupcakes, chop them about the size of mini or large chocolate chips.
For the Oreo frosting, the Oreo should be finely crushed in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.
