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 (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

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8″x8″ baking pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Combine the melted mixture with one large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Fold 5 crushed Oreos into the brownie batter for extra texture.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Step 7: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the top of the batter.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center—it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Step 9: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing.
  10. Step 10: Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper, slice, and serve.

Tips & Variations

  • Use gluten-free flour blend to make these brownies gluten-free without sacrificing texture.
  • Substitute the egg with a flax egg for a vegan-friendly version.
  • For extra richness, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
  • Try different sandwich cookies if you want a unique twist on the classic Oreo flavor.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that freshly baked texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 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
  • 1 pinch Salt (preferably kosher salt)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (or gluten-free flour blend)

Cookies and Cream

  • 10 pieces Oreos, crushed (or any chocolate sandwich cookie)
  • 5 pieces More crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the softened unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together. Stir every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of kosher salt to the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir vigorously until all ingredients are well blended and smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend) into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Incorporate Crushed Oreos: Fold 5 pieces of the crushed Oreos into the brownie batter, distributing them evenly for texture.
  6. Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  7. Top with More Oreos: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the top of the batter to add extra crunch and cookies and cream flavor.
  8. Bake the Brownies: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  9. Cool Before Slicing: Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour to set and develop fudgy texture.
  10. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve fresh for the best creamy and fudgy experience.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, rested until gelled).
  • You may use milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips for a different chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to ensure the brownies remain soft and fudgy.
  • Use parchment paper to easily lift brownies out of the pan for perfect cuts and less mess.
  • Allowing the brownies to cool completely is crucial for the best texture and flavor.
  • Gluten-free flour blends can be used as a 1:1 substitution for a gluten-free version of these brownies.
