Why You’ll Love Oreo Stuffed Brownie Bites
Brownies and Oreos are already staples in the world of desserts, but when you put them together, magic happens. These brownie bites deliver a fudgy exterior with a surprise creamy crunch in the middle, thanks to the Oreo cookie. They’re bite-sized and portable, which makes them perfect for potlucks, game days, or even as a grab-and-go snack.
Fun fact: Did you know that Oreos have been America’s favorite cookie since their debut in 1912? Combine their timeless appeal with the gooey richness of brownies, and you’ve got a dessert that’s guaranteed to please everyone.
How to Make Oreo Stuffed Brownie Bites
This recipe is incredibly easy, making it ideal for both beginner bakers and seasoned dessert lovers. Let’s break it down step by step:
1. Prepare the Brownie Batter
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners. This recipe uses a boxed brownie mix for convenience, but feel free to use your favorite homemade brownie recipe if you prefer.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix with ¼ cup of milk and ¼ cup of vegetable oil. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The milk adds a touch of creaminess to the batter, making the brownies extra fudgy.
2. Assemble the Bites
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin tin cup. Place a whole Oreo cookie in the center of each cup, pressing it gently into the batter. Then, cover the Oreo with another spoonful of brownie batter, making sure it’s completely coated.
Pro Tip: Use a cookie scoop or small ladle to make portioning the batter easier and mess-free.
3. Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie portion comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake—the goal is a soft, gooey texture!
Once baked, allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you’re like me, enjoy them slightly warm for that irresistible melty center.
4. Serve and Enjoy
Serve these fudgy Oreo brownie bites as they are, or take it up a notch with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a decorative touch, or top each bite with a dollop of whipped cream for a fancy finish.
Tips to Customize Your Brownie Bites
- Double the Oreo Fun: Use Double Stuf Oreos for an even creamier center.
- Add a Peppermint Twist: Use mint-flavored Oreos and top the brownie bites with crushed candy canes for a festive treat.
- Make It Extra Decadent: Add a few chocolate chips or a swirl of peanut butter to the brownie batter for an extra indulgent touch.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free brownie mix and gluten-free cookies to make this recipe suitable for everyone.
Perfect Pairings
These Oreo Stuffed Brownie Bites are rich and decadent, so they pair perfectly with lighter accompaniments:
- A cold glass of milk (of course!).
- A scoop of vanilla or cookies-and-cream ice cream.
- A mug of hot coffee or hot chocolate for a cozy dessert experience.
Why This Recipe Works
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and versatility. The boxed brownie mix saves time, while the addition of Oreos transforms a basic dessert into something fun and exciting. Plus, the bite-sized portions are ideal for sharing (or for portion control, if you’re trying not to eat the whole batch!).
