Oreo Brownies Ingredients
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 and ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 18 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus extra for topping)
How to Make Oreo Brownies: Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prep Your Pan and Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to lift out the brownies later. Lightly grease the paper.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Whisk until glossy and well-blended. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gently fold with a spatula just until no dry streaks remain-avoid over-mixing for ultra-fudgy brownies.
Step 4: Fold in the Oreos
Gently fold in the chopped Oreo cookies, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 5: Bake the Oreo Brownies
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Top with a few extra Oreo pieces for added crunch. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out. Slice into squares and dig in!
Oreo Brownies Recipe Notes
- Do not over-bake: For ultra-fudgy brownies, remove them from the oven when the center is just set.
- Room temperature eggs: This helps create a smoother batter for the best texture.
- Chill before slicing: If you want super clean cuts, refrigerate the brownies for 1 hour before slicing.
Oreo Brownies Variations
- Peanut Butter Oreo Brownies: Swirl a few tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the batter before baking.
- Mint Oreo Brownies: Use mint-flavored Oreos and add ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Blondie Oreo Brownies: Replace cocoa powder with an equal amount of flour for a golden, vanilla twist.
