how to make Easy Fudgy Oreo Brownies

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/2 cups Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 cups Oreos (crushed)

Directions:


  1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.



  2. Mix the Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the white sugar and brown sugar with the melted chocolate mixture. Stir well until everything is combined.



  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.



  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.



  5. Add Oreos: Gently fold in the crushed Oreos, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.



  6. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.



  7. Pour and Top: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly. You can add extra Oreo pieces on top if you like.



  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.



  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

FAQs

    Absolutely! Just make sure to use a larger baking pan and adjust the baking time as needed.
