Ingredients
If you have any ingredients leftover from this single serve Oreo brownie recipe, check out our Leftover Ingredients Recipe Finder.
- Butter: Enhances chocolate flavor and balances sweetness. Substitute with unsalted butter and a pinch of salt if unavailable.
- All-purpose flour: You’ll need just 2 tablespoons as cocoa powder fills in for the rest.
- Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate: Semi-sweet, milk, or bittersweet chocolate all work well. Semi-sweet is my go-to and if you have leftover chocolate chips, consider using them in a small batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Lava Cake, or a S’mores Dip.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder: Adds a depth of cocoa richness to the batter.
- Sugar: Essential for a softer center, especially since unsweetened cocoa powder is used.
- Egg yolk: Acts as a binding agent while also adding richness and structure. Save the egg white and use it in any of our egg white recipes like Mini Texas Sheet Cake or Coconut Macaroons.
- Vanilla: Elevates the overall flavor profile.
- Oreo cookies: Oreos are the classic choice, but other brands work too. Substitute based on your preference. Use leftover Oreos to make a small batch of Oreo Balls, Chocolate Covered Oreos, or a French Silk Pie.
Recipe Variations
We get it—sometimes you just need to shake things up a bit! If you’re looking to experiment, or maybe you have specific dietary needs, we’ve got you covered with these alternative options.
- Gluten-Free Oreo Brownie: Swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free alternative like gluten-free measure for measure flour. Don’t forget to use gluten-free Oreos too!
- Mocha Brownie: Add a quarter-teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the batter for a subtle, yet intoxicating, coffee aroma and flavor.
- Caramel Swirl: Instead of the Oreo layer, add a ribbon of caramel to the batter before baking. It’ll create a delightful, gooey surprise.
How To Make An Oreo Brownie
These step-by-step photos and instructions help you visualize how to make a one brownie. See the recipe box below for ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions.
- Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until just melted. Set aside.
- Whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Add the melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla. Stir with a spoon or a rubber spatula to combine. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and crumbled Oreo cookies.
- Pour the batter into a lightly buttered ramekin. Spread into an even layer. Top with one additional crumbled cookie and chocolate chips. Bake on the middle rack of your oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
Expert Tips
- Choose Quality Chocolate: Choose well-known brands like Ghirardelli, Guittard, or Scharffen Berger. Budget-friendly options include Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods’ 365 chocolate chips.
- Select the Right Ramekin: Stick to a 10-ounce ramekin for best results. Using a smaller or larger size could alter the baking time and texture.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mixing the batter too much can lead to a cake-like texture. Aim for a just-combined batter for a fudgy result.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on the clock to prevent overbaking, which results in a dry brownie. Remember, it will continue to firm up as it cools.
Serving Suggestions
Indulging in a single serving Oreo brownie is a heavenly experience on its own, but why not elevate it to stratospheric heights?
- A La Mode: Top your Oreo brownie with a scoop of classic vanilla ice cream. The warmth of the brownie will slightly melt the ice cream, creating a sumptuous mix of textures.
- Whipped Cream: A dollop of homemade whipped cream adds an airy lightness that pairs exceptionally well with the dense, chocolatey brownie.
- Fresh Berries: Scatter a few fresh raspberries or strawberries on top. The tartness of the berries will complement the sweetness of the brownie and Oreos.
- Nut Butter Drizzle: For a nutty complexity, drizzle some almond or peanut butter over the top. The richness of the nut butter adds another layer of flavor.
- Dusting of Cocoa: Finish it off with a light dusting of cocoa powder for that extra chocolate kick.
Frequently Asked Questions
The importance can’t be overstated.
For optimal baking results, it’s crucial to use a 10-ounce ramekin with dimensions of 4 inches in diameter and about 1 ¾ inches in height.
Unfortunately, ramekins often lack size markings, making it challenging to determine their exact capacity. A simple way to measure your ramekin’s size is by filling it with water and transferring that water to a measuring cup.
If ramekins aren’t your thing, 8 to 10-ounce mini loaf pans are a solid alternative. If you find yourself with smaller ramekins, you can still make it work; just divide the brownie batter among them.
