Crumb Cake Ingredients:

• Flour – Use all-purpose flour for the base of this cake.
• Baking powder – A leavening agent to help it rise.
• Salt – Just a touch brings out the sweetness.
• Granulated sugar – A must!
• Vegetable oil – An ingredient for moist cakes. 
• Eggs – These bind the cake together. 
• Greek yogurt – Richer than milk, the acid in yogurt helps create a fluffy, tender cake. 
• Oreos – These are crushed and added to the chocolate cake batter so there’s Oreo chunks throughout!
• Crumbly topping – The cookies-and-cream crumble is made with flour, light brown sugar, butter, Oreos, vanilla extract, mini chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips. 
• Powdered sugar: Once the cake has cooled, a sprinkle of powdered sugar is the finishing touch. 

How To Make Oreo Coffee Cake:

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together, and set the mixture aside. Then in a separate bowl combine the sugar, oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
2. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
3. Fold in the crushed cookies. Afterward, pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
4. Prepare the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, butter, Oreos, and vanilla extract into a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form and then use your hands to work the mixture to be sure it’s well combined.
5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the cake.
6. Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of it comes out clean. Next, remove the cake and immediately top it with chocolate chips.
7. Crush the remaining Oreos and sprinkle them on top. Dust with powdered sugar and then allow the cake to cool before serving!

Frequently Asked Questions: 

What’s the difference between a coffee cake and a crumb cake? 

They’re similar, but crumb cakes have more yummy streusel topping than coffee cakes. 

How do you crush Oreos (with or without a food processor)?

The Oreos don’t need to be finely ground, just crushed into chunks, so using a food processor is optional. Here are two easy techniques:

• Freeze the Oreos (about 30 minutes) then pulverize them in a food processor. When they’re frozen, the creme is less likely to stick to the blades.
• Place them in a sealable plastic bag then roll over them with a rolling pin until they’re crushed. You can also (carefully) smash them with a meat mallet or even a glass jar. 

Can you freeze it?

Yes! Once it’s completely cooled, wrap it in aluminum foil or plastic wrap then place it in a freezer bag. It will keep for 2-3 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy, let it sit at room temperature for at least an hour to thaw. 

How To Store Crumb Cake:

Coffee cake leftovers should be wrapped or stored in an airtight container. They can remain at room temperature for a day, or they’ll last up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

Substitutions & Variations: 

• Greek yogurt substitutes: Sour cream can be used in place of Greek yogurt if you don’t have any one hand. Buttermilk or a buttermilk substitute (i.e.1 cup of 2% or whole milk mixed with 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar) can also be used. 
• Use different kinds of Oreos: Do you prefer Double Stuf, Mega Stuf, Golden, or Mint Oreos? Try using them in this recipe!
