Description
Bake the ultimate fudgy Oreo brownies with a gorgeous, shiny, crinkly top. This recipe blends rich, decadent brownie batter with whole Oreos for an intensely satisfying treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 12 to 15 whole Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Arrange half of the whole Oreos over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and gently spread. Place the remaining Oreos on the surface.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist, fudgy crumbs, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.
Notes
- For the best fudgy texture, avoid overbaking.
- Using room temperature eggs helps create that shiny top layer.
- Chilling the brownies for an hour before cutting makes for cleaner slices.
