Oreo oreo, here we go!

The first time we did brownie, it was a little burnt thus hard, yet very chocolatey.

We all agreed it could be a little more moist.

Determined to bake the best brownie ever, we found this enticing recipe!

Fudgy Oreo Brownies

Introducing the team players

Melted the butter and chocolate in the microwave.

The chocolate won't be completely melted so stir till it combines with the glorious melted butter :)

Added the rest of the wet ingredients, followed by all the dry ingredients.

Then, some muscles did some dancing.

All ready to go

The blobs you see in the brownie mixture are actually chunks of crushed oreo.

Lay it on the bed of aluminium

Sprinkle on plenty of blessings

(that means oreo to us or maybe to some of you too *wink*)

Let the steel box do its magic

After some time of oohing and aahing at the glass window of the steel box, it came out looking like thissss.

We thought it looked great, hopefully you do too. Yes, don't forget the but.

But, it was too dry. The oreo flavour created wonders with the chocolate. Yes.

Yet, it was more of a chocolate cake than a brownie. We like ours chewy, fudgey and chocolatey.

We wondered if reducing the baking time would do the trick. But that's another try for another day.

Nevertheless, here's the recipe :) 

Fudgy Oreo Brownies
(adapted from Pinch of Yum)

Serves 8

1/2 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons or 115g of butter (unsalted)
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee or espresso
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
15-20 Oreo cookies, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare a 8×8 pan by lining the inside with foil, creasing it tightly at the inside edges and folding it tightly over the top edges (this makes it easy to take them out and cut when you’re all done).
2. Melt all three chocolates and butter in the microwave.  Stir and cool.
3. Whisk sugar, eggs, vanilla, coffee, and salt for about 15 seconds.  Add the chocolate mixture.  Add flour and stir until no streaks remain.  Add the crushed Oreos and mix.  Pour into prepared pan.
4. Top with extra Oreos and bake for about 30 minutes.  Be careful – they get dry around the edges if overbaked.
5. Cool completely before cutting and serving (yeah, right).

So, we're sadly excited to announce that our quest for the best brownie ever will continue!

HAA_JAA!

Love,
