Vegan Oreo brownies! These are perfect for anyone who loves cakey brownies that are sweet, but not too sweet. They’re rich, chocolatey, and of course, topped with Oreos!

What’s your favorite classic dessert? Brownies are definitely mine! Sure, cookies and cupcakes are tasty, but nothing beats the rich chocolate flavor of a freshly baked, fudgy brownie. If I see a table full of desserts at a party, you can bet that I’ll be reaching for the brownies first. You really cannot go wrong with a brownie in my opinion. Even a sub-par brownie is still great!

Despite my never-ending love for brownies, I do admit that they can sometimes seem a bit plain. After all, they’re pretty much always the same, unlike cookies or cupcakes, where you can change up the flavor. Chocolate is delicious, of course, but eating the same thing over and over will eventually become boring, no matter how tasty the food is that you’re eating. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to escape the monotony of brownies: adding different layers or toppings! For example, you can add crushed Oreos to the top of a pan of brownies to give them a nice cookies ‘n cream flavor as well as a tasty crunch. It’s a simple way to make your good brownies amazing!

Tips for Making Vegan Oreo Brownies:

• Properly Prepare Flax Eggs: Ensure that your flax eggs have the right consistency by allowing them to thicken for the full recommended time (5-10 minutes). This step is crucial for binding the ingredients together and achieving the desired texture in the brownies.
• Mind Your Mixing Time: Once you’ve combined the wet and dry ingredients, avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can lead to dense and tough brownies. Mix until just combined to maintain that perfect balance of fudgy goodness.
• Test for Doneness: To prevent overbaking, regularly check the brownies towards the end of the suggested baking time using a toothpick. Insert it into the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter), they’re ready. Overbaking can result in dry brownies, so keep a close eye on them as they approach the final minutes in the oven.

FAQ

Can I use a different egg substitute instead of flax eggs?

• Yes, you can substitute flax eggs with other vegan egg alternatives like chia eggs or applesauce. Keep in mind that the texture and moisture level may vary slightly.

Can I use a different plant-based milk instead of soy milk?

• Certainly! Feel free to use any unsweetened plant-based milk of your choice, such as almond, oat, or cashew milk.

How should I store these Vegan Oreo Brownies, and how long do they stay fresh?

• Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze them for about 2-3 months.

What can I do if I don’t have parchment paper for lining the baking pan?

• If you don’t have parchment paper, grease the baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. You can also leave a slight overhang with the greased paper to easily lift the brownies out of the pan after cooling.
