Oreo Skillet Brownies

Ingredients:

  • 150 g Butter
  • 250 g Dark chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 1/2 cups Oreos, cut into chunks
  • 100 g Chocolate chunks

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a 10-inch cast iron skillet by greasing it with cooking spray.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate, then melt them completely in the microwave or using a double boiler. Allow the chocolate mixture to cool.
  3. Add the granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Sift in the cocoa powder, then stir with a whisk until everything is well combined.
  4. Incorporate the eggs and mix until fully combined.
  5. Chop the dark chocolate into small to medium chunks and break the Oreo cookies into medium-sized pieces with your hands. Add both the chocolate chunks and Oreo chunks into the brownie batter, mixing until well combined.
  6. Sift the flour into the mixture and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter. Avoid overmixing to maintain a moist and fudgy brownie texture.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared 10-inch cast iron skillet greased with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the tops of the brownies develop a crinkly appearance.
  8. Top the brownies with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve. This is a delightful, hot, and chocolatey dessert to enjoy with your loved ones.

Notes:

  • Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk to ensure the mixture blends evenly and bakes perfectly. Avoid placing cold batter into the oven.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain moist and fudgy brownies, preventing them from becoming dense and dry.
  • Measure your flour correctly by spooning it into your measuring cup, creating air pockets, and leveling it with the back of a knife.
  • Feel free to add your favorite add-ins to make this recipe your own. Options include chocolate chips, chopped nuts, M&M's, caramel sauce, white chocolate, toffee, and more. Get creative!
  • Be patient; even though it's tempting to dive into these brownies right out of the oven, allow them to cool for at least 10 minutes to avoid burning your mouth. The wait will be worth it for these extra moist and fudgy treats.
  • Don't overbake the brownies for super fudgy results; it's better to slightly underbake them.
  • To prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan, consider lining it with parchment paper.
  • Brownies pair wonderfully with a cold glass of milk. You can also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle chocolate syrup on top. Another option is to serve them with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and more chocolate syrup.
