Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 15 Oreos, crushed
  • 5 Oreos, additional crushed for topping

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Whisk in the large egg, sweetened condensed milk, and salt until the mixture is fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the crushed Oreos, then pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares to ensure they set properly.

Tips & Variations

  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water, set for 5 minutes).
  • Swap white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Use gluten-free flour in place of all-purpose flour to make these brownies gluten-free.
  • Press whole Oreo halves into the top of the batter before baking for a decorative touch.

Storage

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat refrigerated brownies gently in the microwave for about 15 seconds to soften.

How to Serve
