Decoration Tips: To give your Oreo Brownies an extra touch of indulgence, you can add a few additional toppings right after they come out of the oven. Drizzle melted dark chocolate or caramel sauce over the top for added richness. For a crunchy contrast, sprinkle some crushed Oreos or chocolate chips on top of the brownies while they’re still warm. You can also dust the brownies with powdered sugar for a classic finish or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat. If you’re feeling creative, you could even add a pinch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavor of the chocolate.
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Batter:
- 200g (1 cup + 1/4 cup) dark chocolate (use baking chocolate chips or a chocolate bar; avoid compound chocolate)
- 90g (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) butter (use dairy-free or any salted butter of your choice)
- 250g (1 cup + 1/2 cup) sugar (cane or castor)
- 120ml (1/2 cup) milk (unsweetened almond milk or any plain milk of your choice)
- 160g (1 cup + 1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 40g (1/2 cup) Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 10g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 50g (1/4 cup) chocolate chips
- 9 Oreo cookies for topping, plus 4-5 Oreo cookies chopped and mixed into the batter
Method:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C). Grease an 8×8-inch square baking tin with oil and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.
- Melt the Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together, either over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add the sugar and warm milk. Stir with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Incorporate the Chocolate Chips and Oreos: Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Oreo cookies, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the Batter: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange the 9 whole Oreo cookies on top of the batter, pressing them in slightly.
- Bake: Place the baking tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies have risen evenly and the center is just set. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
- Add Extra Chocolate (Optional): If you want an extra chocolatey touch, sprinkle additional chocolate chips over the brownies as soon as they come out of the oven. Let the brownies cool completely in the baking tin before slicing.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooled, remove the brownies from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares with a warm knife for clean edges.
Enjoy!
