Oreo Brownies

If you love brownies you are going to love this recipe because it is just the brownies plus the Oreos which takes them to another level. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit then cut the butter into tablespoon-size pieces and drop them into a bowl along with one cup of semisweet chocolate chips.

Heat them in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring every 15 seconds until the chocolate and butter are completely melted. Add on one cup of natural cocoa powder and half a teaspoon of instant coffee, the instant coffee is optional but will bring the chocolate flavour and will not make them taste like coffee.

Add in white granulated sugar and brown sugar, this recipe calls for two large eggs plus one egg yolk, add them to the Oreo batter one at a time making sure you stir really well after each addition. Finish off with vanilla extract and salt and stir well. You will then add the flour and you will need one cup of all-purpose flour, stir well until all your ingredients are very well combined.

Finally, you will add the Oreos and you will need 15 crushed Oreos, inside your brownie batter, you don’t want to grind them into completely fine crumbs. You just want them to be small pieces, that way you will still get a nice Oreo crunch when you bite into the brownies. Add the crushed cookies to the Oreo brownie batter and stir well then add mini chocolate chips and mix.

Spread this batter into a parchment-lined or lightly greased and floured 9 by 9 banking pan. Press a few Oreos on top of the batter just for a nice finishing touch. Bake in 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted at the centre comes out with just a few fudgy crumbs.

Once baked, they will have a nice crackly top with a fudgy centre packed full of Oreos. These Oreos biscuits are a recipe you are really going to want to try out and you will absolutely love them.

  2. Combine butter and 1/2 cup (100g) semisweet chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, microwave for another 15 seconds, and then stir well again. Repeat for 15 seconds until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and well combined.
  3. Add cocoa powder and instant coffee (if using), stir well then add sugars, and stir until completely combined.
