Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs (cold)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Oreo Center
- 15 Oreos (for stuffing)
- 5 Oreos (crushed, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- Melt fats and sugars: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Then microwave for an additional 1 minute and stir vigorously to fully dissolve the sugar, ensuring a smooth batter. Using a hand or stand mixer is recommended for best texture.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Whisk in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate, then add the vanilla extract. The batter should be thick enough to pull away slightly from the bowl edges.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, flour, and salt to the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined to maintain fudginess without overmixing.
- Layer batter and Oreos: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange the 15 Oreos in a layer centered on top of the batter.
- Top with remaining batter: Spoon and spread the remaining batter over the Oreos, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Add crushed Oreos and bake: Sprinkle the 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the top for added texture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the edges comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool and slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before lifting out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares for serving, revealing the Oreo-stuffed center.
Notes
- For fudgier brownies, avoid overmixing the batter after adding the flour.
- Using cold eggs helps in achieving a thick batter consistency.
- The crushed Oreos on top add a delightful crunch and visual appeal—feel free to add more or less depending on preference.
- Allow the brownies to cool fully before slicing to ensure clean cuts and prevent crumbling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for a week.
