Did someone say oreo? and then brownies? A winning combination, am I right?
I used the 'best ever chocolate brownies recipe' from BBC GoodFood. I often use this recipe when brownie baking, and I have to say, it never disappoints. Also, the original recipe doesn't call for Oreos, but its Friday and we wanna live a little. I also switched some of the caster sugar out for brown sugar, it just gives it that little bit of extra fudgy goodness.
Makes 9 BIG BROWNIES
Easy Peasy
Ready in 40 minutes
I N G R E D I E N T S
150g butter (I used goats to make it dairy free)
150g dark chocolate
80g plain flour
45g cocoa powder
100g dark chocolate (cut into chunks)
3 eggs
200g caster sugar
75g light brown sugar
9 oreos
METHOD
- preheat the oven to 180c fan or 160c with no fan.
- first, you want to melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Once melted, leave to cool in the bowl.
- then whisk together the sugars and eggs until pale and creamy.
- once the chocolate mixture has cooled, pour it into the foamy mixture and fold together gently.
- then sieve in the flour and cocoa powder and mix again
- fold through the chunks of chocolate and the mix is ready
- line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper
- pour the mixture into the baking tin and spread out to create an even layer.
- press the full oreos into the top of the mixture, then bake for 28 minutes.
- I like to check the brownies after 25 by giving them a little wobble. If the centre still seems jiggly, they're not quite ready.
- once baked, leave to cool in the tin (I even place them into the fridge when almost cooled, to help with the slicing.
- slice into 9 extra large gooey brownies and enjoy!
