Why This Recipe Works
- Fudgy brownies- This homemade brownies recipe is based on my Better Than Boxed Brownies, but with Oreos. They are super fudgy and incredible.

- Easy recipe- These decadent brownies are such easy brownies you will want to make them over and over again. They are so much better than a boxed brownie mix and barely any extra work.
Ingredient Notes
Here are some notes on the ingredients. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Egg yolk- The extra egg yolk helps to give the brownies an extra fudgy texture.
- Unsalted Butter- The butter needs to be melted and slightly cooled. Too warm and the butter will cook the eggs.
- Oil- Canola oil, vegetable oil, or olive oil is perfect for this recipe.
- Dark unsweetened cocoa powder- For the best flavor I recommend you use dark unsweetened cocoa powder. Regular cocoa powder will make this recipe sweeter.
- Cornstarch- The cornstarch breaks down the gluten and provides a more fudgy texture and a more chewier brownie.
- Chocolate chips- I used semisweet chocolate chips. You can use dark chocolate chips, but I don't recommend milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips since they will make it sweeter.
Step By Step Instructions
Here is how to make and bake these Oreo brownies
STEP 1: Spray a 9X9 inch pan. Spray the pan with non-stick baking spray. For easy removal of the brownies, place parchment paper on the bottom and sides of the prepared baking pan.
For alternatives to a 9x9 square baking pan see FAQ below.
STEP 2: Mix the dry ingredients. Use a sifter to make sure all the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder lumps are gone.
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl.
STEP 3: Beat eggs and sugar. Next, use a mixer with a whisk attachment in. Whip the large eggs and granulated sugar for 5 straight minutes. Just the let the mixer run!
This adds air to the eggs and creates the crinkly top.
STEP 4: Add in wet ingredients. Then, add in the melted unsalted butter, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low to not deflate the air in the eggs.
STEP 5: Add in dry ingredients. Mix in the dry ingredients on low speed. Make sure it is completely combined. Then, fold in chocolate chips and crushed Oreos.
STEP 6: Bake the brownies. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place remaining Oreos pieces on top of the brownies batter. Bake for 45-55 minutes. Bake until the edges are set and the middle is a little bit under baked.
If you stick a toothpick in and it comes out with batter on it give it another 5-10 minutes of baking time. If it comes out with crumbs it is ready.
STEP 7: Cool the brownies. For the best results, the brownies need to cool completely before cutting into them. They still cook as they cool down. Cool the pan on a wire rack.
Expert Baking Tips
When you are baking these brownies, you need to be careful when adding in the rest of the ingredients after the eggs are beaten.
If they are added in too fast, the eggs' air will deflate and you won't get as much of a rise from the brownies.
Make sure to spray the pan with baking non-stick spray, so the brownies don't stick to the pan. It is also a good idea to place parchment paper on the bottom of the tray as well.
These brownies are also best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
