Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
- 1 cup White Chocolate Chips (or milk chocolate chips)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (about 14 oz, crucial for consistency)
- 1 pinch Salt (use kosher salt for a rounded taste)
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 10 pieces Oreos (crushed; any chocolate sandwich cookie works)
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the softened unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously to achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend) until just combined; be careful not to overmix to keep brownies tender.
- Incorporate Oreos: Fold 5 crushed Oreo pieces into the batter to distribute the creamy cookie flavor throughout the brownies.
- Fill the Pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Top with Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the batter to add an extra crunchy topping.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour to set properly.
- Slice and Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the brownies out of the pan, slice into squares, and serve for a delightful treat that melts in your mouth.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, rested for 5 minutes).
- Use gluten-free flour blend if you need to avoid gluten; this recipe adapts well to that substitution.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to maintain a fudgy texture.
- Ensure the brownies cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- Using kosher salt balances flavor without overpowering sweetness.
