I am a huge brownie fan, and believe there is a brownie recipe for every occasion! From luxurious Biscoff brownies to decadent triple chocolate brownies (because you can never have enough chocolate in a brownie!), summery berry-filled raspberry brownies, fudgy Nutella brownies, or my gluten free brownies, there is a brownie flavour for everyone! And if you need a quick brownie fix, my microwave brownie is ready to eat in less than 10 minutes!

Oreos are one of my favourite ingredients, from making the most delicious Oreo cheesecake and fudgy Oreo mudcake, to these 3 ingredient Oreo truffles. So combining the rich chocolate cookie with a cocoa brownie seemed like the perfect pairing! Brownies stuffed with Oreos?! Yes please!

Heat in the microwave in 30 second bursts on half power, stirring in between, until the sugar has almost dissolved and the ingredients have combined.

The cocoa powder and caster sugar stirred into the melted butter.

Step 3 – Whisk In The Eggs And Vanilla Extract

Allow the mixture to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs and vanilla extract.

Three eggs added to the cocoa-butter mixture.

Step 4 – Sift In The Plain Flour

Sift in the plain flour and fold through.

Flour sifted into the mixing bowl.

Step 5 – Pour Into Tin

Pour half of the brownie mixture into the prepared tin. Place 12 Oreo cookies on to the mixture in rows (like in the image below):

Oreos placed in rows on half the brownie batter in the tin.

Pour over the remaining brownie mixture, making sure it covers all the Oreo’s.

The rest of the brownie batter poured over the Oreo biscuits.

Roughly chop the remaining Oreo’s and gently press on top of the brownie.

Expert Tips

  • Line your tin with baking paper – to make it easier to remove the brownies from the tin once cooked.
  • Don’t over mix the brownie batter – this will cause the brownies to become cake-like rather than fudgy.
  • Don’t overcook the brownies – overcooking can make the brownies dry.
  • For fudgy/moist brownies – cook for 25-30 minutes and test with a toothpick which should come out with moist (but not wet) crumbs on it.
  • The brownies will continue to cook as they cool.
  • Cool the Oreo brownies before cutting – this will make it easier to slice them neatly.
  • Storage – store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

FAQs

How do I tell my brownie is cooked?

Insert a toothpick into the centre of the brownies – if it comes out with a few moist (but not wet) crumbs on it, the brownie is cooked. Remember, the brownie will continue to cook as it cools after being removed fom the oven.

Can I freeze Oreo brownies?

Absolutely! Freeze them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave the slices in a container in the fridge overnight, or sit them at room temperature for 1-2 hours. 

What makes a brownie fudgy vs cakey?

Overmixing can trap more air in your brownie and make it cakey, whereas minimum combining of ingredients keeps them fudgy.
Also the quantity of ingredients makes a difference. Fudgy brownies have a higher fat content (butter and chocolate), whereas cakey brownies have a higher flour content.
