You found the best homemade Oreo brownie recipe. These are incredibly fudgy, chewy, and topped with a perfect, shiny crust. They are easy to make and better than any boxed mix.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (about 15 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup whole or crushed Oreo cookies for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter until fully combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Melt the chopped unsweetened chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Fold the melted chocolate into the batter.
  7. Gently fold in the 1 1/2 cups of roughly chopped Oreos.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of whole or crushed Oreos over the top.
  9. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. For fudgy brownies, a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For the best shiny, crackly top, make sure you whisk the sugar into the warm butter and eggs thoroughly before adding the dry ingredients. This dissolves the sugar, which creates the crust.
  • Use room temperature eggs; they incorporate better into the batter.
  • Do not overbake if you want that chewy brownie texture. Err on the side of underbaking slightly.
