Cook Oreo Stuffed Brownies Like This
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Melt the Butter
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the 1 cup of butter completely, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Combine Sugar and Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar and 4 large eggs until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Add Cocoa Powder, Salt, and Baking Powder
Stir in 1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder into the egg and sugar mixture until well combined.
Step 5: Mix in Vanilla and Flour
Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour to the mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing for that fudgy texture.
Step 6: Stir in Chocolate Chips
Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the brownie batter.
Step 7: Layer with Oreos
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Place 1 package of double-stuffed Oreos in a single layer on top of the batter. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Oreos, spreading it evenly.
Step 8: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9: Cool and Frost
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack. Once cool, use the white frosting in a tube to decorate the top as desired.
Healthier Substitutions
- Butter: Replace with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.
- Sugar: Use coconut sugar or a sugar substitute for a lower-calorie option.
- All-purpose flour: Substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
- Chocolate chips: Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor and less sugar.
Method to the Madness
The key to the perfect Oreo Stuffed Brownies lies in the balance of ingredients. Using high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips will enhance the flavor significantly. The magic happens as the brownies bake, creating a soft and gooey center that perfectly envelops the Oreos. The frosting adds a delightful finishing touch, turning these brownies into an irresistible treat that everyone will love.
Make Ahead Like a Pro
These brownies can be made a day ahead for a party or gathering. Simply store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they will stay fresh and delicious. If you want to prepare them even further in advance, you can freeze the unbaked brownie batter. Just pour it into the pan, layer with Oreos, cover tightly, and freeze. When you’re ready to bake, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bake as directed.
Ask & Learn
Can I use other types of Oreos for this recipe?
Absolutely! You can experiment with different Oreo flavors, like mint or peanut butter, to create unique variations of these brownies.
What should I do if my brownies are too cakey?
If your brownies turn out too cakey, it might be due to overmixing the batter or baking them for too long. Be sure to mix just until combined and check for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time.
How do I store leftover brownies?
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also refrigerate them if you prefer a chilled treat.
