Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Use 30-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning.
- Whisk the sugar into the melted butter until well combined and slightly glossy. The mixture should look smooth and integrated.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Beat until the mixture becomes light and slightly fluffy.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Roughly crush the Oreo cookies into chunky pieces. Fold 3/4 of the crushed Oreos and 3/4 of the white chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining Oreo pieces and white chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the loaf out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice into thick pieces. For a festive Halloween touch, optionally decorate with orange or black sprinkles.
Tips
- Butter Melting Magic: When melting butter, use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent burning. A smooth, glossy butter-sugar mixture is key to a decadent texture.
- Egg Incorporation Technique: Add eggs one at a time and beat thoroughly. This creates a lighter, more airy brownie base that's to die for.
- Sifting Secrets: Always sift your flour and cocoa powder together to eliminate lumps and ensure a silky-smooth batter.
- Oreo Crushing Hack: Don't pulverize the Oreos – leave some chunks for texture and visual appeal. Bigger cookie pieces mean more Halloween drama!
- Toothpick Test Wisdom: When checking doneness, a few moist crumbs on the toothpick are perfect. Overbaking will turn your spooky treat into a dry nightmare.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing to help it set and make cutting easier.
- Halloween Decoration Bonus: Sprinkle orange or black decorative sugar for an extra festive touch that'll make your loaf scream "Halloween!"
