Oreo Brownies!


Another recipe..YAY! It's three of my favourite things, brownie, chocolate and Oreos..put them together and you get this beautiful creation! I have made these babies sooo many times and I swear they get more and more gooey each time, so I decided to share this recipe with you all..your welcome!

Recipe
165g butter, plus a little bit extra for greasing
100g dark chocolate
100g milk chocolate (or if your a lover of dark chocolate you can just use 200g of dark chocolate)
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
2 tsp vanilla extract
165g soft light brown sugar
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp cocoa powder
154g pack of oreo biscuits (I use original, but now they have invented a variety you can use whichever is your favourite!)

Method

Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees/ fan 350 degrees/ gas 6. Before you begin grease the baking tin you want to use, then line with baking paper, let it overlap the sides a little bit so its easy for you take out.
Melt the butter in a pan (or microwave) when it has melted, break up your chocolate and add it to the butter. Leave it to stand for a few minutes until the chocolate has gone soft, keep stirring. If your impatient like me you can blast it in the microwave for a few seconds so the chocolate is fully melted.  
Whisk the eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract until they begin to go all light and fluffy (I recommend you use an electric hand whisk otherwise you will be there all day and your arms will start to ace, but if you don't have one I recommend you buy one) Once it looks light and fluffy add the brown sugar, pour it around the side of the bowl so you don't knock out the air that has been whisked in to it. Once the egg mixture becomes more stiff add your melted chocolate/butter, again around the sides. 
Then add the flour, cocoa powder half the oreos (or as many as you'd like) stir until fully combined, then pour the mixture into the tin you prepared at the start. I then break up more oreos and scatter them on top, pressing them in slightly. 
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, the middle should be slightly gooey and delicious! 
Leave the brownies to cool in the tin for about 30 minutes, the top will sink and crack a little bit but have no fear its meant to do that! 
Once cooled pull the brownies out using that overlapping paper and then cut the brownies into however big or small you want them to be. I then just dust it with icing sugar, because icing sugar always makes it look better. 

































Every time I make them, as soon as I take them out of the oven I always say to myself "the oreos in the mixture looks like fossils!!" Don't you agree?!






They are also so tasty if you warm them up slightly in the oven and then add some vanilla ice cream with them. Yum!
Let me know how you get on! 
Happy baking!
