Oreo brownie recipe

It's no secret I'm obsessed with all things chocolate! But lately, my obsession has focused on homemade brownies! I can't stop cooking them! And I find myself constantly dreaming up new combinations of flavors and textures.

Ingredients for Oreo Fudge Brownies:

Butter: I always suggest using unsalted butter , but salted butter will do when needed. Just omit the salt listed in the recipe.

Sugar: Granulated sugar is ideal for these brownies. If all you have is brown sugar and you're dying to bake them, you can… but since brown sugar contains more moisture than granulated sugar, the brownies will be slightly cakeier .

Oil: Liquefied coconut oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil are all great options. I don't suggest olive oil as it adds an aftertaste which I don't find particularly desirable. In any case, not in brownies!

Vanilla extract: A simple pinch is enough to enhance all the flavors. If you don't have one, don't worry! You can simply omit this ingredient and bake the brownies as directed.

Eggs: Make sure you have large eggs, not medium or extra large eggs. And bring them to room temperature before you start cooking!

Flour: All purpose flour, measured the right way! This involves lathering the flour in the bag, then lightly pouring it into the measuring cup. Fill the cup until it is full, then use the flat edge of a knife to level it. Measure your cocoa powder the same way! Or use an electric scale!

Cocoa powder: Since this recipe does not require baking soda or baking powder, you can use Dutch-process type cocoa powder or unsweetened cocoa powder. I prefer cocoa powder because it gives the brownies a rich cocoa flavor and great color!
Salt: Don't skip the salt! A small amount is enough to balance out the sweet taste and enhance the chocolate flavor!

Oreo cookies: You will need 14 Oreo cookies for this recipe! I like to break them up roughly with my hands. You'll fold half of it into the batter, then press the other half on top of the brownie batter.
Chocolate Chips: I like to add between a half cup and a cup. You can use any variety of chocolate chips, but I prefer semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Note: If you use white chocolate or milk chocolate chips, these brownies will be much sweeter . You can omit the chocolate chips, but the tops of the brownies might be a little less shiny.

Tips for making perfect brownies

Use the right baking pan! I suggest you use a reflective metal mold, like this one.

If you are using a glass or ceramic pan, you will need to increase the baking time by about 10 minutes.

Make sure your eggs are at room temperature! This will ensure your ingredients bind properly and your eggs don't scramble when combined with hot butter.

Don't overmix your brownie batter! This is what causes cake-like brownies.

Pro Tip: Stop mixing when you still see the tiniest trace of dry ingredients. Then stir in your chocolate chips and oreo cookies. You should only need 3 or 4 mixes to incorporate these last ingredients. It is better to undermix than to overmix!

Bake your brownies on the middle rack. I get asked a lot about this, so I want to make it clear that unless otherwise specified, I always suggest baking brownies on the middle rack.

Also, be careful not to overbake your oreo brownies! They should still have a little jiggle in the center, and a few wet crumbs should pop out when a toothpick is inserted.

Place your brownies on a cooling rack and let them cool completely in the pan! You'll be amazed at how much they firm up as they cool.

If you want a warm, gooey brownie, just heat it up in the microwave for a few seconds.

Can you freeze brownies?

Yes, I freeze them all the time. I like to wrap each brownie individually, then put them in a large freezer bag and place it in the freezer.

They keep for 2 months ! But they never last that long with me. To thaw them, simply place them on the counter for a few hours. Or, if you really can't wait, unwrap them and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

To reserve them in the freezer or transport your brownies, nothing better than opting for a Lunch Box.

Recipe

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 cup (43 g) unsweetened Dutch-made cocoa powder

• 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter

• 35 grams of oil (3 tablespoons)

• 300 g of granulated sugar, divided into two parts.

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk

• 3/4 cup (128 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

• 14 Oreo cookies, coarsely chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line a 23x23cm mold with parchment paper. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside until needed.

3. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, oil and 1/2 cup sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is completely melted. Remove from fire.

4. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk and remaining sugar. Whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds. Stir in vanilla.

5. Slowly pour the hot butter mixture into the egg mixture, adding it very gradually (a little at a time) and whisking constantly until fully combined.

6. Add the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, stir slowly until just combined.

7. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and half of the Oreo cookies! *Do not overmix!

8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Squeeze the remaining Oreo cookies on top of the dough.

9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until edges are set and top is shiny and slightly cracked.

10. Place pan on a cooling rack and let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Rapeseed oil, vegetable oil or liquefied coconut are suitable.

Don't mix too much! Stop mixing when you see the last trace of dry ingredients. If you mix too much, you will get cakey brownies.
