- 1 cup unsalted butter - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 10 crushed Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish) For my Oreo frosted brownies, I start with simple, fresh ingredients. Unsalted butter gives the brownies a rich base. The granulated sugar adds sweetness and moisture. I use four large eggs for a great texture and structure. Pure vanilla extract brings out the best flavor. All-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder create a perfect brownie mix. The baking powder helps the brownies rise just right.

It makes the brownies look great and taste even better. {{ingredient_image_2}} Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key for even baking. Next, grab a 9x13 inch baking pan. Grease it well and line the bottom with parchment paper. This helps the brownies come out clean after baking. In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once it melts, take it off the heat. Whisk in 2 cups of granulated sugar until the mixture looks smooth. Let it cool for a few minutes. Now, add 4 large eggs, one at a time, whisking them in. Pour in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Mix until everything blends well. In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Gradually mix this dry blend into the wet ingredients. Stir gently, being careful not to overmix. Next, fold in 10 crushed Oreo cookies. Ensure they are spread evenly throughout the batter. Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick in the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Cooling is very important. If you frost while they are warm, the frosting will melt. Allow them to cool completely before adding the delicious Oreo frosting. To get the best brownie texture, avoid overmixing. Mix just until you see no flour. This keeps your brownies chewy and fudgy. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh eggs and butter will make a big difference. To achieve perfect frosting consistency, start by beating your butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk. This creates a smooth, spreadable frosting. Mixing in crushed Oreos adds a delightful crunch and flavor to your frosting. For a stunning presentation, plate your brownies on a colorful platter. Garnish with whole Oreos on the side. This adds charm and invites guests to dig in. For events, consider topping each brownie with a dollop of whipped cream. It looks great and tastes even better. Pro Tips Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your eggs and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and a better texture in your brownies. Don’t Overmix the Batter: Stir the brownie batter until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense brownies instead of the desired fudgy texture. Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before adding the frosting. This prevents the frosting from melting and ensures a beautiful finish. Store Properly: For the best taste and texture, store the frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 3-4 days. {{image_4}} To make Oreo cheesecake brownies, you add cream cheese to the mix. Start by softening 8 ounces of cream cheese. Blend it with 1/2 cup of sugar until smooth. Then, add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Swirl this mixture into the brownie batter before baking. The cream cheese gives a rich, creamy layer that pairs well with the brownies. For a minty twist, add mint flavoring to the frosting. Use 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract along with the vanilla. Mix it in with the butter and powdered sugar. This will create a refreshing taste that complements the chocolate. You can also top the brownies with a few mint Oreos for extra flavor and decoration. You can easily make a gluten-free version by using gluten-free flour.
