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.

Best of all, 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

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

Add half of the brownie batter to a greased 9×13 baking tray and top with a layer of oreos (photo 3). Carefully spread over the remaining batter, top with more crushed oreos, then bake!

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.

Notes on this recipe

Leave the brownies to cool COMPLETELY before slicing to get a neat cut. Also make sure to use a serrated knife to slice the brownies!
Thoroughly grease your baking tray before adding the brownie batter.
Feel free to swap the oreos for any cookie of your choosing! You can also sandwich the brownie batter between a layer of cookie dough.

FAQ

What can I use instead of plant-based milk?

You can swap the plant-based milk for cow’s milk (if not vegan) or water.

What can I use instead of vegan butter?

The vegan butter adds richness and depth of flavour however you can swap it for dairy butter (if not vegan) or a flavourless oil such as coconut, vegetable or sunflower.

I don’t like coffee – can I omit it?

You certainly can. Feel free to substitute with equal amounts water or milk.

These brownies are delicious as they are but would also taste AMAZING if you add a layer of peanut butter after the oreo layer. If you’re a huge PB fan like me, I know you’ll love my vegan peanut butter brownies too!
