Main Ingredients
- 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 (approximately 14 oz)
- 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)
- 5 pieces More Crushed Oreos (for extra crunch)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8″x8″ baking pan lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Melt Butter and Chocolate Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips together, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of kosher salt to the melted mixture. Stir vigorously until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain fudgy brownies.
- Incorporate Crushed Oreos: Fold in 5 of the crushed Oreo pieces evenly into the batter to add crunchy pockets of cookies throughout the brownies.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula.
- Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining 5 crushed Oreos on top of the batter for an extra crunch and decorative finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan at room temperature for at least 1 hour. This helps them set perfectly for clean slicing.
- Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into squares and serve to enjoy the rich, fudgy texture with a delicious cookies and cream crunch.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute the large egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, set for 5 minutes).
- You can use milk chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips if preferred.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding flour to avoid tough brownies.
- Use parchment paper to line the pan for easier removal of brownies after baking.
- Check the brownies at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking; they should remain fudgy inside.
