You can never go wrong with Oreo desserts, I find that sweets such as fried Oreos, Oreo balls and Oreo cheesecake are always a hit! Oreo brownies are great for all of the chocolate lovers in your life, I always get rave reviews when I serve them at parties. Brownies are amazing on their own, but when you add a hefty dose of Oreo cookies to the mix, you end up with a unique and decadent dessert that people go crazy over! I brought these brownies to a party the other night and they disappeared in minutes. If you love baking and brownie recipes as much as I do, you’ll want to try my decadent cake truffles, cheesecake brownies and blondies recipe.
Oreo Brownies Ingredients
To make this recipe you will need butter, semisweet chocolate chips, granulated sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract, all purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt and Oreo cookies.
How Do You Make Oreo Brownies?
Preheat the oven, and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter and part of the chocolate chips together in the microwave. Stir until smooth, then mix in the sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add the all purpose flour, cocoa powder and salt to the bowl, and fold in more chocolate chips. Spread half of the brownie batter into the plan, then add Oreo cookies over the top. Pour in the batter and spread it into an even layer. Finally, add more cookies and chocolate chips on top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Cool the brownies, then use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan. Cut into squares and enjoy.
Tips For Oreo Brownies
This recipe uses semisweet chocolate chips as the primary flavoring agent. The chocolate is both melted into the batter and stirred in as chips. Do not use Nestle Toll House chocolate chips for this recipe. Nestle chocolate chips do not melt smoothly and will not work in these brownies. I recommend using Guittard or Ghirardelli chocolate chips. These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. I recommend cutting these brownies into small pieces as they’re quite rich!
Oreo Brownie Variations
There are so many different ways to customize this recipe to make it your own!
Oreo Flavors: I typically use the classic Oreo in this recipe, but you can use mint, chocolate, or peanut butter Oreo cookies for a different flavor. Chocolate: Instead of stirring semisweet chocolate chips into the finished batter, you can use white chocolate chips, milk chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips instead. Candy: Instead of chocolate chips, try chopped peanut butter cups, mini M&M’s or toffee bits. Flavorings: Feel free to add other flavors to the batter such as mint extract or even a shot of espresso.
Once you get a taste of these amazing treats, you’ll never want to make regular old brownies from a box brownie mix again! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to counterbalance all that rich chocolate flavor for an extra special treat.
