Ingredients
¾cupall purpose flour
½tspsalt
⅓cupunsweetened natural cocoa powder
2ozunsweetened chocolate barchopped
1stickunsalted butter, cubed1/2 cup
1 ¼cupsgranulated sugar
2largeeggs
1largeegg yolk
¼cupvegetable oil
1tspvanilla extract
8whole oreos crushedfor the batter
10oreos broken into pieces for the top of the browniesI used regular and mini oreos
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a 8x8 or 9x9 inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the properly measured flour, salt and cocoa powder. Stir together with a spoon until mixed. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the chopped unsweetened chocolate and cubed butter. Stir occasionally until it’s fully melted, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a larger mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs plus additional egg yolk with an electric mixer for 1 minute, until the mixture is pale yellow and doubled in volume.
Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the egg mixture. Then add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Stir with a spatula to combine.
Spoon the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, add the crushed oreos for the batter and mix with a spatula just until combined. Do not continue to mix the batter once you can no longer see flour.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and press the additional rough chopped oreos on top, pushing them into the batter. Bake for 35-40 minutes (glass pan) 27-32 minutes (metal pan) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool, then slice.
Notes
How To Cut Brownies Neatly
To get really nice clean brownie squares, I like to refrigerate my brownies for at least 30 minutes before cutting. Then I use a long 8 inch chef’s knife to cut them. But here’s the MOST IMPORTANT TIP 👉 wipe the knife CLEAN between each cut. Yes, it’s annoying, but it works!
How to Make Gluten Free Oreo Brownies
I have made this recipe multiple times with King Arthur’s Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour with great success. You can also try another brand of gluten free all purpose flour. Be sure to measure the flour properly. Be sure to use gluten free oreos as well.
