Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Chocolate and Dairy Components:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)
Flavor Enhancers and Texture Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10–12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus a few extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and preparing an 8×8-inch baking vessel with a protective parchment lining or light grease coating.
- Create a smooth foundation by whisking melted butter and granulated sweetener until thoroughly integrated.
- Incorporate eggs and aromatic vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform, silky consistency.
- Gently sift dry ingredients – cocoa powder, flour, and salt – into the wet mixture, stirring with minimal agitation to prevent gluten development.
- Introduce crushed Oreo cookies and optional chocolate chips, delicately folding them throughout the batter to ensure even distribution.
- Transfer the rich, textured batter into the prepared pan, carefully spreading to create an uniform layer.
- Artfully arrange additional Oreo fragments across the surface for visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven, allowing the brownies to bake for 25-30 minutes until a testing implement reveals slightly moist crumbs.
- Allow the baked delicacy to cool completely, enabling structural stabilization before cutting into decadent squares.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Gently fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined to maintain a tender, fudgy texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Cookie Customization: Experiment with different cookie varieties like mint or peanut butter Oreos to create unique flavor twists on the classic brownie.
- Moisture Management: Check brownies early and remove from oven when a few moist crumbs cling to the toothpick, ensuring a rich, gooey center without becoming dry.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives and use dairy-free butter for a delicious version suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
