Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I like how this recipe balances both texture and flavor—soft, fudgy brownies with a crunchy Oreo bite in every slice. I also love that I can prepare it with pantry staples and have it ready in under an hour. It’s a great go-to recipe for birthdays, holidays, or just a cozy night in. Another thing I really appreciate is that I can adjust the texture: bake them a little less for gooey brownies or longer for a cakier version.

Directions

In a small saucepan, I melt butter over low heat, then stir in chocolate chips until smooth. I set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, I whisk together white sugar and brown sugar.
I add eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and slightly fluffy. Then I stir in the chocolate mixture.
I sift in flour and cocoa powder, gently folding until the batter is smooth.
I fold in crushed Oreos.
I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
I pour the batter into the dish and top with extra crushed Oreos and chocolate chips.
I bake for about 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
I let them cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 8 servings. It takes around 15 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to bake, and 10 minutes to rest—so I usually have these brownies ready in about 55 minutes total.

Variations

I sometimes switch up the Oreos with flavored ones like mint or golden Oreos for a fun twist. If I want a richer chocolate flavor, I use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. For a gluten-free option, I swap the flour with a gluten-free blend. Occasionally, I even add peanut butter chips or swirl some caramel into the batter for extra indulgence.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When I want to enjoy them warm, I pop them in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes. If I need to keep them longer, I freeze them for up to 3 months and thaw at room temperature before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use different Oreo flavors?

Yes, I like using different Oreo flavors depending on my mood—double-stuffed, mint, or even seasonal ones. They all add something fun to the brownies.

Can I make these brownies without eggs?

Yes, I sometimes substitute eggs with mashed bananas, applesauce, or a flaxseed egg. They work well and keep the brownies moist.

Do I need a mixer for this recipe?

Not at all. I just use a whisk and spatula. The batter comes together easily by hand.

Can I make these brownies more cakey?

Yes, I bake them a few minutes longer until the toothpick comes out clean. That gives them a firmer, more cake-like texture.

How do I keep my brownies fudgy?

I make sure not to overbake them. Taking them out when the toothpick has a few moist crumbs ensures they stay gooey inside.

Conclusion

I always come back to this Easy Fudgy Oreo Brownie recipe when I want something quick, indulgent, and crowd-pleasing. The combination of fudgy chocolate and crunchy Oreos makes them irresistible, and the recipe is simple enough for me to make anytime. Whether I serve them at a party or just enjoy them warm from the oven, they never disappoint.
