Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownie Batter
- 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)
For the Topping
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos for extra crunch
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the melted mixture with one large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of kosher salt vigorously until everything is well incorporated.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing just until there are no dry flour pockets—avoid overmixing to keep brownies fudgy.
- Fold in Oreos: Carefully fold in 5 crushed Oreos into the batter to disperse them evenly throughout.
- Transfer Batter and Add Topping: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos evenly over the surface for added crunch and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan at room temperature for at least one hour to set properly before slicing.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve for a delicious dessert or snack.
Notes
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped brownies for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
- If vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).
- Use gluten-free flour blend if you want a gluten-free variation.
- Check the oven a few minutes before the minimum baking time to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the brownies.
- Letting the brownies cool completely improves texture and makes slicing easier.
