I usually like to keep things pretty healthy around here, but today we are throwing that all out the door. And for good reason. A chocolatey, fudgy, cookie-loaded reason.

Yes, friends, today we are making vegan oreo brownies. And not just any brownies, these brownies have a layer of oreos hidden in the middle!

Are oreos vegan?

You may be surprised to hear that your favourite chocolate sandwich cookie is suitable for vegans. However, please do check the packet before buying.

Why you’ll love this recipe:

I just know you’ll love this recipe! It’s:

Vegan, and therefore eggless and dairy-free
Made with simple, pantry-friendly ingredients that even non-vegans will find in their cupboards
Loaded with oreos
Universally loved by vegans and non-vegans alike!

How to make oreo brownies step-by-step:

You will need:
Flour • Cocoa Powder • Sugar • Baking Powder • Salt • Vegan Butter • Coffee • Dairy-free Milk • Vanilla • Oreos

The first step is to mix our dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl (photo 1). Then we pour in the wet ingredients (photo 2) and mix to form a smooth batter (photo 3).

Next, add half the batter to a greased 9×13 baking tray, and top with a layer of oreos (photo 4). Add the remaining batter and carefully spread it to cover (photo 5). Top with more crushed oreos (photo 6) and bake for 40-45 minutes.

And that’s it! These vegan oreo brownies are super simple to make. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool before you slice them!

Tips for slicing brownies perfectly:

Are you looking to get that perfect clean cut to your brownies? Here are a couple of things you should do:

Leave the brownies to cool COMPLETELY. I know its tough, but it really helps when slicing the brownies for them to be as cold as possible. I recommend leaving the brownies to cool in the tray at room temperature for 30 minutes, then transferring to the fridge for another 30 minutes.
Grease the tray thoroughly using butter or oil before adding the brownie batter. This helps to remove the brownies from the tray.
Use a serrated knife when slicing the brownies. This is particularly important when slicing through the oreo cookies. You can also clean your knife between slices if you are finding it quite sticky, though I do not usually have this problem.

What if I don’t have vegan butter or milk?

I recommend making these brownies with vegan butter to add richness. I like to use unsalted Flora Plant in the UK. However, if you do not have vegan butter, you can sub a flavourless oil such as coconut oil, vegetable oil, or sunflower oil.

Note that if you are using a salted vegan butter, you can omit the salt from the recipe.

If you do not have dairy-free milk, you can use water instead.

Variations on this recipe:

Not a fan of oreos? Swap them out for any cookie of your choosing!
Try adding a layer of peanut or cookie butter after the oreo layer (if you’re as big a fan of peanut butter as I am then I know you’ll love my peanut butter brownie recipe too!)
Why not swap out the top layer of brownie batter for a layer of cookie dough?
