Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 180 grams chopped chocolate (dark, bittersweet, or semi-sweet)
  • 114 grams unsalted butter
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 55 grams brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red gel food coloring
  • 94 grams all purpose flour
  • 25 grams cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix-ins & Topping

  • 16 Oreo cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring you leave an overhang of 1-2 inches for easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Combine the chopped chocolate and unsalted butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 1-2 minute increments, stirring every 20 seconds, until fully melted and smooth. Let this mixture cool slightly.
  3. Beat Sugars and Eggs: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment on medium-high speed to beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and white vinegar for 2 to 3 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy and pale yellow.
  4. Add Food Coloring: Lower the mixer speed and blend in the red gel food coloring evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Combine Chocolate with Egg Mixture: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, slowly stream in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, mixing until smooth and uniform.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Stop the mixer, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt using a rubber spatula. Fold just enough so that a few white streaks of flour remain for a fudgy texture.
  7. Prepare Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies into a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or can until mostly in chunks.
  8. Fold in Oreos: Fold most of the crushed Oreo pieces into the brownie batter, reserving some chunks to sprinkle on top later for extra texture and decoration.
  9. Transfer and Top Batter: Spread the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining Oreo pieces on top to create a crunchy topping.
  10. Bake: Bake for 30 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with sticky crumbs but no raw batter, ensuring fudgy brownies.
  11. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the brownies with a sharp knife and enjoy the rich, fudgy texture combined with crunchy Oreo pieces.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help the batter emulsify better for a richer texture.
  • Let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the eggs when mixed.
  • The vinegar enhances the red velvet flavor and reacts with the baking elements to keep the brownies tender.
  • Check the brownies at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking; fudgy brownies should have moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  • For extra fudginess, underbake slightly and allow cooling to finish the setting process.
