Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tbs. (53 g) natural cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick,113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbs. (224 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (90 g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 16 oreos whole and crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8 pan (or line with parchment paper and foil and lightly spray)
  • Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl, and beat them with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla till smooth. Mixture will be very thick.
  • In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine. Or simply combine the butter and sugar, and heat, stirring, until the butter is melted. Continue to heat (or microwave) briefly, just until the mixture is hot (about 110°F to 120°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it. Heating the mixture to this point will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
  • Add the hot butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
  • Add the flour and chocolate chips again stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon 1/2 of the the batter into the prepared pan. Top with 9 whole oreos (I make 3 rows of 3). Top with the remaining batter and spread over the oreos. Don't worry if your batter doesn't fully cover some of the Oreos. Crush the remaining the Oreos and sprinkle on top of the batter.
  • Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked. Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
