Stir mixture round and round, making sure the ingredients have been blended together.
Whisk again, but a bit harder to beat the eggs well. If needed, use a hand blender to give the mix a better stir.
This time, you may need a hand blender or even an electric mixer. Start blending on medium speed, mixing round and round to make cupcake batter creamy. Keep blending for about thirty seconds. Add crushed Oreos. Set batter aside.
Use an ice cream scoop to pour batter into each tin. You should fill it about halfway up.
Bake the cupcakes for about 15-20 minutes or until cupcakes start to puff up and poking a toothpick inside comes out clean.

Question

What can I substitute for the Crisco?

Community Answer

You can use butter or margarine. One cup of Crisco is equivalent to one cup of butter/margarine.

How should I make icing for the cupcakes?

If you like, you can prepare the cupcake tin with a twisted Oreo on the bottom. Just as good with a simple surprise!

Using brewed coffee into the mixture will make the cupcake batter a tastier twist, however it is not needed.
