How To Make Oreo Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Prepare Your Baking Pan:
Grease a 9-inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray, then line with parchment paper.
Preheat the Oven:
Set your oven to 340°F (170°C). A properly preheated oven guarantees evenly baked, fudgy brownies every time.
Melt Chocolate and Butter:
Combine cooking chocolate and unsalted butter in a saucepan. Melt gently over low heat, stirring regularly until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
Whisk brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until combined. This mixture adds sweetness and structure to your Oreo chocolate fudge brownies.
Combine Chocolate and Egg Mixture:
Pour cooled chocolate-butter mix into the egg mixture, whisking until smooth and glossy. This creates your rich Oreo chocolate fudge brownie batter.
Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder into the brownie batter to avoid lumps and evenly distribute ingredients.
Gently Fold Batter:
Using a silicone spatula, carefully fold dry ingredients into wet until a thick, glossy Oreo chocolate fudge brownie batter forms. Avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy and tender.
Layer Brownie Batter with Oreos:
Pour half the brownie batter into the pan, smoothing evenly. Arrange 20 whole Oreos on top, then cover evenly with remaining batter.
Top with Oreo Chunks:
Break 8 Oreos into chunks, scatter over batter, and gently press in. This adds extra crunch and Oreo flavor to your brownies.
Bake Brownies:
Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Perfectly baked Oreo chocolate fudge brownies are fudgy yet cooked through.
Cool Brownies:
Let Oreo chocolate fudge brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to achieve the best fudgy texture.
Optional Refrigeration:
For extra dense, fudgy brownies and neat slices, refrigerate overnight before cutting into perfect squares.
Fay's Top Tips
Always let your Oreo chocolate fudge brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing. Cooling helps:
- Set the fudgy texture: Warm brownies can fall apart, but cooling firms them perfectly.
- Get cleaner cuts: Fully cooled brownies slice neatly without crumbling.
- Boost density: For extra rich, dense brownies, refrigerate after cooling before slicing.
Giving your brownies time to set guarantees the best texture, flavor, and clean edges every time.
Brownie Recipe Variations
Different Oreo Flavors: Try mint, peanut butter, or golden Oreos for a fun twist.
Add Nuts: Mix in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds for crunch and nutty flavor.
Chocolate Chips: Stir in white, milk, or dark chocolate chips for extra chocolatey brownies.
Flavor Swirls: Swirl caramel or raspberry jam into the batter before baking for added sweetness.
Coffee Boost: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.
Cream Cheese Layer: Spread a cream cheese layer over the first batter layer for a cheesecake brownie.
Marshmallow Topping: Add marshmallows during the last few minutes of baking for a gooey finish.
