FAQs

Can I use boxed brownie mix for this?

Yes! Just prepare the mix according to the box directions and fold in chopped Oreos before baking.

Do I need to use chocolate chips?

No, but they add extra richness. You can skip them or replace them with chunks of your favorite chocolate.

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips to make it dairy-free.

Can I add frosting?

Absolutely—cream cheese or chocolate ganache frosting both pair well with Oreo brownies.

What kind of cocoa powder should I use?

Unsweetened natural cocoa powder is best, but you can use Dutch-process for a darker, richer flavor.

How do I know when the brownies are done?

A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not raw batter. Don’t overbake, or they’ll lose their fudginess.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, double all the ingredients and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. You may need to add 5–10 minutes to the bake time.

Should I crush or chop the Oreos?

Chop them into medium pieces for the best texture and cookie visibility.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, just substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and use gluten-free Oreo-style cookies.

Do the brownies need to cool before slicing?

For clean, neat squares, let them cool completely. If you prefer gooey brownies, go ahead and slice them while warm.
