To make the best Oreo stuffed brownies, gather these ingredients: - 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks) - 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar - 1 cup packed brown sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 16 Oreo cookies (whole for stuffing) - 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess) These ingredients bring a rich flavor and texture to your brownies. The butter adds moisture, while sugars provide sweetness. The cocoa powder gives a deep chocolate taste, and the Oreos add a fun twist. If you want even more chocolate, toss in some chocolate chips. {{ingredient_image_1}} First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key for even baking. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper. This helps with easy removal later. Next, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once it's melted, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit. In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted butter with 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of packed brown sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth. Then, add 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Finally, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Make sure there are no lumps. This mix gives the brownies their rich flavor and texture. Pour half of the brownie batter into your prepared pan. Spread it evenly. Now, take 16 whole Oreo cookies and place them in a single layer on top of the batter. Finally, pour the rest of the brownie batter over the Oreos. This creates a delicious surprise in every bite. Now, it’s time to bake! Place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; you want fudgy brownies. Once baked, take the brownies out of the oven. Let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This cooling time helps them set up properly. After that, cut them into squares. For a fun touch, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your Oreo stuffed brownies! To get fudgy brownies, use melted butter. It makes them richer. Adding chocolate chips adds even more moisture. Use a high-quality cocoa powder for a deep flavor. Mix your batter just until blended. When you overmix, you add air. This makes brownies cakey instead of fudgy. Stir gently when combining dry and wet ingredients. Bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes. Check with a toothpick. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. Remember, underbaking slightly keeps them fudgy. Pro Tips Use Room Temperature Eggs: Using eggs that are at room temperature helps them incorporate better into the batter, resulting in a more uniform texture. Don’t Overmix the Batter: To achieve fudgy brownies, mix the batter just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a cakey texture. Cool Before Cutting: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This helps them set up properly and makes cutting easier. Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add toppings like crushed Oreos, nuts, or a drizzle of chocolate on top before baking for added flavor and texture. {{image_2}} You can switch out the Oreo cookies for other favorites. Try using peanut butter cookies or chocolate chip cookies. Each choice will give a new taste to the brownies. If you love mint, use mint Oreos for a fresh twist. Experimenting with different cookies makes each batch special. Get creative with your toppings! You can sprinkle crushed Oreos on top before baking. This adds flavor and a nice crunch. Another fun option is to add mini marshmallows or nuts. You can also drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top when they cool. These toppings make each bite even more exciting. Want a gluten-free treat? No problem! You can swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend. Many brands work well in brownies. Just check the packaging for the right amount to use. This way, everyone can enjoy your Oreo stuffed brownies, no matter their diet. To keep your Oreo stuffed brownies fresh, place them in an airtight container. This will help prevent them from drying out. You can store them at room temperature for up to four days. If you want to keep them longer, refrigeration is a great option. Just remember to wrap them well to avoid any fridge smells. Freezing is a smart way to enjoy your brownies later. Cut the brownies into squares before freezing. Then, wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap. Place the wrapped brownies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When you're ready to eat them, just thaw at room temperature for a few hours. If you want warm, gooey brownies, reheating is easy. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the brownies on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 minutes. For a quicker option, you can use the microwave. Heat each square for 10 to 15 seconds. Be careful not to overheat, or they might dry out. Enjoy your rich and fudgy treat! You can check if the brownies are done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. Avoid overbaking to keep them fudgy. The edges should look set, while the center may still appear soft. Yes! You can swap Oreos for any cookie you like. Try peanut butter cookies for a twist. You can also use chocolate chip cookies for a classic combo. Just make sure they are sturdy enough to hold up in the brownie batter. Leftover brownies can be stored for later. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for about three days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just wrap each brownie tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. Absolutely! You can make these brownies a day ahead. Just let them cool fully, then cover them tightly. This helps the flavors meld together. Enjoy them cold or warm them up in the microwave briefly before serving.
