These are Oreos in Brownies Form!

The idea for these brownies popped into my head one day while I was out for lunch with friends. I swear I was mid-conversation about something completely non-brownie related when suddenly it hit me: I needed to make these Oreo brownies. Not brownies with Oreos baked inside or scattered on top. I was going to make brownies that literally are Oreos.

Needless to say, my friends thought I was nuts. But they’re used to that by now. Fast forward to the present, and I think these decadent Oreo brownies came out perfectly! I already had a fantastic Oreo filling recipe (I mean, who doesn’t?), so I baked a brownie on the thinner side, smeared the filling over one half and then placed the other half over top like a sandwich. Tada! Oreo brownies, cream filling and all.

What is Oreo Cream?

Oreo cream, a.k.a. Oreo creme, is the deliciously sugary, vanilla-flavored white cream filling in the middle of an Oreo cookie. While the original version of Oreo cream is loaded with preservatives and artificial flavors, at its core, it’s a vanilla cream and one half of the cookies-and-cream that makes an Oreo cookie famous!

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make the fudgy brownie as well as the homemade Oreo filling:

For the Brownie:

  • Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips, and not milk chocolate.
  • Butter: Cut into cubes for easy mixing.
  • Vanilla: For the best possible flavor, use pure vanilla extract.
  • Sugar: I use regular white granulated sugar for these brownies. Always consistent!
  • Eggs: For best results when baking, take your eggs out of the fridge ahead of time to let them come to room temperature.
  • Flour
  • Salt

For the Oreo Filling:

  • Vegetable Shortening: Alternatively butter, at room temperature.
  • Sugar: More regular granulated sugar.
  • Powdered Sugar: Also called confectioner’s sugar, to give the filling that classically smooth, sugary texture.
  • Vanilla

How to Make Oreo Cream Stuffed Brownies

Make the Brownie Batter: Melt the butter cubes and chocolate chips together in the microwave, and then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar. Add in the flour and salt, and mix to combine. Pour in the melted chocolate and stir until smooth.

Bake: Spread the batter into a greased and lined jelly roll pan. Bake until the center of the sheet pan brownie is set, then allow it to cool while you make the filling.

Assemble: Invert the brownie onto a cutting board, then cut the brownie in half. Next you’ll spread the filling over one half, and carefully lay the second brownie half directly over top. Cut the brownie layers into squares and enjoy!

Tips for Success

Even though these brownies are ultra decadent, they are easy to make! I do have a couple quick tips though:

  • Can I Use Box Brownie Mix?: I haven’t used a box mix myself for this recipe, but I don’t see why you couldn’t. I’d suggest using a “Family Sized” Brownie mix, however, as a regular sized mix might not make enough batter to fill the pan.
  • Don’t Over-Mix the Batter: Over-mixing the brownie batter may lead to tough, overly dense brownies. Mix the ingredients until they’re just combined!

How to Store

These brownies can be stored airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can extend their shelf life to 5 days by storing them in an airtight container in the fridge. I’m pretty sure you will have eaten them all within a couple days though!

Can I Freeze These?

You can keep your Oreo brownies stored frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap the cooled brownies tightly in plastic wrap, plus an extra layer of aluminum foil to protect against freezer burn.

Thaw the brownies on the counter at room temperature before serving.

    FAQs

    What makes brownies cakey vs fudgy? ›

    Fudgy brownies have a higher fat-to-flour ratio than cakey ones. So add more fat—in this case, butter and chocolate. A cakey batch has more flour and relies on baking powder for leavening. The amount of sugar and eggs does not change whether you're going fudgy or cakey.

    How do you upgrade Pillsbury brownie mix? ›

    Swirl in Some Good Stuff

    Dollop cream cheese, fruit jam, pumpkin puree, peanut butter or caramel over brownie batter. Spoon it into the pan, then cut through the batter to create this wow-worthy effect. Your dessert will be prettier and tastier than every other treat on the table.

    Does Oreo brownie have milk? ›

    Is it Milk Free? Yes! We believe this product is Milk free as there are no Milk ingredients listed on the label.

    What does adding an extra egg to brownie Mix do? ›

    If you opt to add more eggs, say double the amount, something interesting happens. Even though you are adding more moisture, the air bubbles that you catch in the extra eggs add volume, which decreases the density of your final product. This makes your brownies rise and gives them a much more cake-like texture.

    Is butter or oil better for brownies? ›

    In brownies, both butter and oil will offer a moist, tender texture, but only butter will give the dish the aeration needed for rising brownies well. If you use a cake brownie, butter is a better option because it helps rise the batter. For denser, fudge type brownies, oil is permissable.

    How do you doctor up boxed brownie mix? ›

    Scope out your kitchen for add-ins.

    Boxed brownies can be their own blank slate for just about any snacks, sweets, or baking scraps you've got in your pantry or fridge. Add a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder. Throw in a handful of nuts—pecans, walnuts, macadamia, whatever you have on hand.

    How to jazz up boxed brownie mix? ›

    Add nuts – Add a handful of finely chopped pecans or walnuts if you love brownies with nuts. Add mix ins – Jazz up a basic brownie mix with chopped mini peanut butter cups, white chocolate chunks, or your favorite chopped up candy bar. Add a swirl – Swirl in spoonfuls of peanut butter or Nutella before baking.

    What can you add to boxed brownie mix to make it better? ›

    The first and easiest upgrade you can give to your boxed brownie mix is to add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the batter. Adding coffee to your brownies boosts their flavor because its bitter quality balances out sweetness, making it less overpowering. It allows that delicious chocolate flavor to really shine.

    Do you beat eggs before adding to brownie mix? ›

    Cookbook author and food stylist Jerrelle Guy might have given away the secret: In an article for The Kitchn, Guy suggests the secret to a "glossy" and lifted brownie — like the ones you see in bakeries and restaurants — is to beat the eggs and the sugar together for 10 minutes before adding additional ingredients.

    Can you combine 2 boxes of brownie mix? ›

    Prepare batter using 2 packages any Betty Crocker®Premium brownie mix, double all ingredients for the water, oil and eggs called for on the package directions. Bake 51 to 53 minutes for shiny metal or glass pan and 45 to 47 minutes for dark nonstick pan. Cool 1 hour before cutting.

    Should you chill brownie mix before baking? ›

    Recently, as I was reading through the comments on all our brownie recipes, one suggestion in particular stood out: Refrigerate the batter overnight for a richer, chewier brownie.

    Is the cream in Oreos milk? ›

    Well, it's made of quite a few ingredients, but none of them are dairy-based milk or cream. Take that as you will, but despite its less-than-clean ingredients, few can deny the Oreo cookie of its comforting and nostalgic taste and texture profile.

    Why don t Oreos have milk? ›

    SUMMARY. Oreo cookies are made without any animal products. However, the company that makes them says these cookies are made in facilities that handle milk. As a result, there may be traces of milk in Oreo cookies.

    What are the ingredients in Mrs Freshley's Oreo brownies? ›

    INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, ENRICHED BLEACHED WHEAT FLOUR (FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), VEGETABLE SHORTENING (PALM OIL AND/OR PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED SOYBEAN OIL), COCOA POWDER PROCESSED WITH ALKALI.

    Are my brownies fudgy or undercooked? ›

    To test for doneness with a toothpick, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownies and pull it back out. For fudgy brownies, you'll want to see some moist crumbs attached to the toothpick when you pull it back out. If it looks like it's covered in brownie batter, the brownies will need to bake a bit longer.

    How do you keep brownies fudgy? ›

    The best option is to wrap each brownie in an airtight wrapping such as plastic wrap. Wrapped brownies can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator and should be consumed within 1-2 days before they become dry and stale.

    Why are my Betty Crocker brownies cakey? ›

    Brownies made with a vegetable oil spread that has less than 65% fat will be slightly more dry and cakelike. The only "no-no" is using melted vegetable shortening in place of the oil.

    Why did my brownies come out spongy? ›

    Too much egg will result in a very spongy brownie. Too little and the brownie is too dense and solid.
