Ingredients

Butter – melted. The butter provides flavor and the fat that helps keep the brownies fudgy.
Brown Sugar – to sweeten and add texture to the brownie batter.
Eggs – to help hold the batter together and add texture.
Cocoa Powder – to add rich chocolate flavor to the batter.
Salt- a seasoning that brings out all the flavors.
Vanilla Extract – to add a warm flavor that enhances the chocolate.
All-purpose flour – to help create the structure of the batter.
Oreos – crushed. Leave a few partially broken to add to the top. The crushed Oreos will be folded into the batter.

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until smooth and glossy. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
3. Add the cocoa powder and salt, stirring until the batter is thick and chocolatey. Fold in the flour just until combined — do not overmix.
4. Gently fold in most of the crushed mini Oreos, reserving a handful for the top. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Oreo pieces over the top.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly soft. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
6. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts.

Variations

• Oreos- Swap out the original Oreos for golden, mint, or peanut butter Oreos.
• Nuts – Add in chopped nuts such as walnuts, pecans, or peanuts for added flavor and texture.
• Chocolate Chips – Add in a smattering of milk chocolate, white chocolate, or butterscotch chips for flavor and extra gooeyness.

What Makes A Brownie Fudgy?

Fudgy brownies, unlike cake-like brownies, have a higher fat-to-flour ratio. This means they’re loaded with more chocolate and butter. Additionally, they don’t use any leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda. Generally, cake-like brownies tend to have more eggs than fudgy brownies. To ensure your brownies turn out fudgy, slightly underbake them. Remove them from the oven when the center looks just set, and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs rather than being clean. They’ll firm up as they cool down.

How To Serve Oreo Brownies

• Ice Cream – Enjoy this classic pairing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside a warm brownie.
• Sauces – Drizzle your favorite hot fudge, caramel sauce, or melted peanut butter over the top.
• Creams – Add a dollop of fresh or homemade whipped cream to your brownie.
• Brownie Sundae – Place the brownie in a bowl, top with a scoop of ice cream, drizzle with hot fudge, and garnish with nuts and additional chopped Oreo pieces.

Storage

Store the brownies, tightly covered or in an airtight container, on the countertop for several days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe container or individually wrapped for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or on the countertop before serving.

I drizzled extra melted chocolate chips over the top. I under-baked this batch of brownies a little because I like them gooey, and the chocolate chips in the batter stayed moist.
