We stumbled into making these Oreo brownies on one of those afternoons when you’re craving something indulgent but don’t want to overthink it. Lauren had just reorganized the pantry (again), and Cassidy found a nearly full pack of Oreos hiding behind a jar of almond butter. Within minutes, we were flipping through our mental recipe box, laughing about how Oreos might be the most “accidentally vegan” snack ever. A little cocoa here, some flour there, and the kitchen smelled like every chocolate dream come true.
There’s something comforting about brownies, especially when they come with a bit of crunch and surprise in every bite. These Oreo brownies have become a go-to when we want a nostalgic dessert that feels just a little extra. Cassidy loves dunking hers in a cold oat milk latte, while Lauren likes hers just warm enough so the chocolate chips inside are still a bit gooey. We hope you love them just as much.
Most of the recipes we (Lauren and Cassidy) make at home come from this cookbook.
It’s our go-to. That’s why we are happy to recommend it to you too.
