How to Make Oreo Brownies
Prepare Your Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Melt Your Butter and Mix Sugars: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup (226g) of unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in both granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined.
Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently until smooth—think of it as giving your brownies a relaxing spa treatment.
Sift in Dry Ingredients: Gradually sift in 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour and ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until just combined; avoid over-mixing or else you’ll end up with tough brownies—nobody wants that!
Add Chopped Oreos: Carefully fold in roughly chopped Oreo cookies into the batter. Imagine each piece creating little pockets of creamy sweetness throughout your brownie masterpiece.
Bake Until Perfectly Fudgy: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out with moist crumbs—this is essential for that gooey texture we crave!
Once cooled slightly, cut into squares, serve warm if possible, and watch as everyone falls under the spell of these divine Oreo brownies!
