This Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Recipe is def a game changer in my kitchen. I first tried this recipe when I was searching for that perfect mix between a brownie and a cookie dough oreo dessert vibe.

There’s something about mixing 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter with 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 large eggs that really sets the base for these brownies to be ultra rich. Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a generous 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, and you already sense the dream that’s coming together.

I also blend in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder to get the perfect texture. Toss in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and roughly chopped 12 Oreos to make it extra indulgent.

This isn’t your average dessert but more like an Oreo brownies recipe with a twist that might remind you of S’mores Brownies Easy style treats. PIN this recipe now for an epic dessert experience!

Why I Like this Recipe

1. I love how easy it is to mix everything up together and it still turns out super chocolaty and delicious even if my steps aren’t perfect.
2. I like that the oreos stay in big chunky pieces because every bite gives me that awesome crunch mixed in with the soft brownie.
3. I really dig the combo of unsweetened cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate chips ’cause it gives me a deep chocolate flavor without being too overwhelmingly sweet.

Chocolate Chip Oreo Brownie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Unsalted butter: You can swap it out for coconut oil using the same amount, which gives a subtle tropical twist. It might change the texture just a bit too.
Granulated sugar: Try using an equal cup of coconut sugar. It does make your brownies a bit chewier and gives a caramelly vibe.
Eggs: If you’re in a pinch, mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg. It’s a neat trick that works well enough in most baking recipes.
Vanilla extract: You can also use almond extract but use only half the amount since it has a stronger flavor that could overpower the other ingredients.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure your eggs are at room temp before you beat them in. It helps the ingredients mix together better and stops your batter from seperating.
2. When you sift in the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder, do it slowly so you dont end up with lumps in your mix; it really makes a difference in texture.
3. Gently fold in your Oreos and chocolate chips, cause if you stir too much they might break apart and then you lose that cool chunky texture.
4. Keep an eye on those brownies in the oven; every oven is a bit different so check a few minutes before the end of the bake time to avoid turning them too cakey.
