Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 2/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 eggs (cold)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Oreos
- 15 whole Oreos for stuffing
- 5 crushed Oreos for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt Butter and Sugars: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Once melted, microwave for an additional minute and stir vigorously to fully dissolve the sugars. Using a mixer here is best for smooth texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. The batter should be thick enough to pull away slightly from the sides of the bowl.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Fold in the cocoa powder, flour, and salt just until combined, careful not to overmix.
- Layer Batter and Oreos: Pour half of the batter into the parchment-lined pan and spread evenly. Arrange the 15 whole Oreos in the center of the batter layer, then cover with the remaining brownie batter, spreading to cover the Oreos completely.
- Add Topping and Bake: Sprinkle the crushed 5 Oreos evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool fully on a wire rack before slicing into squares to reveal the perfect crinkle top and Oreo center.
Notes
- Use cold eggs to help the batter hold together better.
- Be careful not to overmix flour into the batter to keep brownies fudgy.
- Allow brownies to cool completely for clean slices and to set the filling.
- For extra festive effect, add orange or black food coloring to the batter before baking.
- Parchment paper makes it easier to remove brownies from the pan.
