Brownieos

Oreos + Brownies = Brownieos! I just can’t stop experimenting with brownies, it’s become a bit of an obsession of mine which is not helping my health kick! However, who can resist a soft baked Oreo cookie sandwiched between rich fudgey brownie? This recipe makes 12 large brownies each one stuffed with a Oreo adding a layer of crunch to contrast the soft gooey brownie texture. So, fellow brownie & Oreo lovers meet my newest invention… Brownieos!

Ingredients (makes 12 brownies)

150g unsalted butter (soft)
150g self-raising flour
170g 70% dark chocolate
225g caster sugar
2 medium eggs (at room temp)
1 pack of Oreo cookies

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 23cm square baking tin with a little butter.

1. Melt the butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of water on a low heat. Once melted, leave on the side to cool.

2.  In a separate bowl whisk together the sugar and eggs. Then pour in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture. Add the flour and fold all ingredients together with a large spoon/spatula until you have a thick brownie mixture.

3.  Pour half of the mixture into your baking tin and smooth over with a palette knife. Place 12 Oreo cookies evenly spread apart onto the mixture. Finally, spoon over the remaining brownie mix and use a palette knife to carefully spread it over the Oreos to completely cover them and fill the edges of the tin.

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes. (The top of the brownies should be starting to crack & a skewer in the middle will be slightly covered in brownie mixture). Cool completely then cut into 12 squares.
