Step 4: Add the dry ingredients, flour, unsweetened cocoa powder and salt and mix this time gently with a spatula just enough to incorporate them and have a smooth mixture.

Step 5: Finish with the Oreos cookie pieces and mix just a little to incorporate them.

Step 6: Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a square brownie pan with parchment paper for easy removal and pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an angled spatula.

Step 7: Add a few pieces of Oreo cookies to the top of the brownies and press them lightly into the batter.

Step 8: Bake the Oreos brownies for about 30 - 35 minutes until it has a shiny crust on top but are still a little soft in the center. (insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie; it should come out with moist crumbs)

Let chill: Let the brownies cool completely in the baking pan and then place them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap for about 1 hour before cutting them into 16 pieces with a large knife.

Enjoy the Oreo brownies on their own or as a dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips for this recipe

Room Temp Ingredients: Ensure your ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature. Beat the eggs until they're frothy and shiny, creating that coveted brownie crust.
Gentle Mixing: After adding the flour, be cautious not to overmix the brownie batter. Gently incorporate it to maintain that perfect brownie texture.
Mind the Cook Time: Be vigilant with the cooking time. Overcooking leads to drier brownies, especially with cookies inside that absorb liquids. For a more fudgy brownies, reduce the cooking time slightly.
Cool for Clean Cuts: For clean and neat slices, let the brownies cool in the fridge before cutting. This makes the cutting process much easier and less messy.

Storage and freeze

Room temperature: Oreo brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container box with a lid for about 5 days.

Can I freeze brownies? Allow the brownie to cool completely before placing it whole and covered with plastic wrap or cut into parts in freezer bags and store in the freezer for 3 months.

Thawing: Let it defrost gently at room temperature overnight or use the defrost function of your microwave to go faster.

Variation & Subsitutions

Chocolate Chips: Adding semi sweet chocolate chips can enrich the chocolatey flavor. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips.
Stuffed Oreo: Incorporating an even layer of whole Oreos in the middle of the batter, pour half of the brownie batter, then add the whole oreo layer and cover with the remaining batter.
Nuts: Adding chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds can introduce a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.
Cream Cheese: Incorporating cream cheese, either swirled into the batter or as a layer like my recipe for Oreo cheesecake brownies.
Nutella or Peanut Butter: Swirling in Nutella or peanut butter can add a rich, creamy flavor like in these chocolate peanut butter brownies.
Baking Powder: By adding baking powder or baking soda, you'll achieve a more cakey brownies texture.
